Floral Open Book Line Art Embroidery Design, Single Colour Reading, Instant Download

This ones the single-colour version and Im gonna be straight with ya, that constraint is the whole point. An open book, wide pages fanned out, with a pansy and wildflower spray climbing up from the spine. No colour fills, no block satin sections, just clean outline stitching all the way through. The linework is kinda delicate, flower petals traced with a fine contour line, leaf edges picked out individually, the page lines on the book done as parallel runs that actually look like ruled pages.

One colour, one thread swap, one stop. Thats it. Really really simple to run, great for anyone who doesnt want to fuss with colour changes mid-hoop. The stitch count is low too, just 6,366 stitches at 4 inch and 9,745 at 7 inch, so it stitches out fast on most home machines without breaking a sweat. Four sizes from 3.63 inch wide up to 7 inch wide.

I get messages from literary folk who want something clean and minimal, not the bright floral book designs that dominate search results. One customer ordered this last summer for bookmarks she was making as reader giveaways, stitching on cream cotton ribbon, and it looked genuinely like a printed illustration. I digitised this in the same spirit, which is why its pure outline and nothing else. Send me a message if you want the file in a specific format thats not in the download pack and ill check what I can do.

Use a tearaway stabiliser on stable woven fabric, cotton, twill, linen, canvas. The low density means it wont fight the fabric much, but you still need support under the hoop or the long running stitches drift. Avoid topping on this one, the fine line detail wants direct contact with the cloth surface. Pick a light-coloured fabric so the black line reads clearly, white or cream or oatmeal are all solid choices.
