Its a strip design, wider than its tall. The flowers sit in a row along a solid stitched baseline, like a neat garden edge pressed flat into fabric. Each bloom has round petals with satin-stitched rims and a tiny open centre, and the long tapered leaves poke out at angles between them. And the stems are fine, just outline stitches tying everything together.
Single colour throughout, all black. Thats really what makes this one so flexible, youre not locked into any particular thread collection. Stitch it in navy on cream linen and it reads vintage. In white on black denim its modern. In a dusty sage on off-white cotton its botanical print style. I get alot of requests for designs that work in any colour and this one genuinely does.
Density is low, around 3,700 stitches at the smallest 4-inch run and under 7,000 at the 8-inch. So its fast on the machine and wont weigh down light fabrics. A customer last autumn wanted the 6-inch batch for a set of linen napkins she was making as wedding favours, stitched them in ivory thread on white cotton and they looked realy elegant without being fussy.
Use a tear-away stabiliser on woven fabrics. The light stitch count means the hooping is easy and you wont need cutaway unless youre going onto a stretchy base. Hoop it straight, the baseline needs to sit parallel to the fabric grain or youll notice. Hit me up if the file gives you trouble and Ill sort it out same day.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Linen napkin and table runner edgingStitch along the hem of a linen napkin in a matching thread and it adds that hand-finished botanical feel without overpowering the table setting
- Collar and cuff trim on blouses or jacketsRun it along a shirt collar or cuff edge in a contrasting colour and it turns a plain blouse into something that looks custom made
- Canvas tote bag bottom borderPop it across the bottom of a canvas tote in black thread and you get a clean botanical border that works with any bag colour
- Pillowcase hem decorationWorks beautifully along a pillowcase hem, especially on white or cream cotton where the outline stitching stays crisp
- Baby blanket or bib borderSoft stitch count makes it safe for baby blanket fleece edges or bib hems without the fabric puckering under the hoop
- Denim shirt or jean pocket edgeLooks sharp on a denim shirt pocket edge or the bottom hem of a denim jacket in white or gold thread
- Framed botanical hoop artHoop in a 9-inch frame on plain linen, leave raw edges, and hang it as a wall piece with that pressed-flower illustration look

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
