Floral Line Art Hands Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Floral line-art design, a pair of slim hands rising up from the bottom holding a small black-outline wildflower bouquet, daisy heads, a chamomile flower and a few leaves, the stems tied at the wrist with a knotted ribbon. Fingers stitched with fine running-stitch outlines that hint at knuckle creases, ribbon falls down past the cuff lines. The petals are drawn as line-only with a few solid-fill leaves and flower centres in deep black to give the bouquet some weight. Just one colour, black thread.

Six sizes ranging 2.5 inches wide at the smallest up to 7.5 wide, heights running 1.73 to 5.2 inches because the design is more vertical than square. Stitch count is light, 2,559 at the smallest going up to 6,813 at the largest, density 175 which is well into the airy outline range. This is one of the lightest stitch counts I sell, which means quick stitch-out times, less than 10 minutes on the smaller versions on a single-head machine. I digitised this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio as running stitch for the outlines with light satin used only on the petal centres and the dark leaves, the underlay is minimal, outline work doesnt need much support and youll want the design to sit flat.

One customer in oregon recieved her file last summer, stitched the 5-inch version onto an oatmeal linen tea towel for her mums birthday, paired it with a small embroidered initial below the wrist. Said her mum cried opening it.

Best fabrics here are quilters cotton, oatmeal linen, ivory canvas, kona cotton. Pale or neutral grounds only because the black outline needs contrast to read. Avoid black or dark navy fabrics for obvious reasons. Skip terrycloth and fleece, the fine outlines wont register on pile. Use light tearaway stabiliser, no topping needed on smooth woven fabric. Pair with a script name or date underneath for memorial or birthday keepsakes. Run a fresh 75/11 sharp needle and standard 40 weight thread, theres no fancy thread choices needed here.
