Two big round flowers sit next to each other along a thick baseline, both facing slightly outward like theyre leaning away from the centre. The petals on each bloom are wide, a lil overlapping, with satin-stitched outlines that give them weight without filling the whole surface. Inside each bloom theres a small tight cluster of outline stitches at the centre, and the leaves radiating out from the base are long and pointed with thin vein lines running through them.
Its a proper border design, much wider than tall. At the 4-inch wide setting its compact enough for a collar or pocket edge. At the 8-inch setting it spans the full chest of a tote bag or the bottom panel of a quilt. Stitch count goes from around 5,400 to 10,040, single colour, 1 stop, no thread changes needed at all.
Single thread colour, which I think suits it. You want the satin outline to do the work here and adding a second thread would break the graphic line. Use tear-away stabiliser on medium-weight wovens like cotton twill, quilting cotton or canvas. Skip stretch fabrics unless you back them with cutaway. Hoop tight so the baseline sits dead parallel to the grain. One customer sent me a photo last summer of this running along the hem of a heavy navy apron in white thread, 5 of them back to back, and that high-contrast combination honestly looked better than any colour fill Id seen on the same piece.
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.
- Apron hem border in contrasting threadStitch across the hem of a heavy cotton or canvas apron in white or cream and the bold satin outlines hold up to washing and daily use
- Wide band across the chest of a canvas toteRun it across the chest panel of a plain canvas tote in a contrasting thread colour and the two-flower graphic reads immediately from a distance
- Kitchen tea towel hem decorationWorks on the hem of a flour sack tea towel, the outline-only style stays flat and doesnt stiffen the fabric the way fill designs can
- Denim jacket back panel borderBold enough to carry the back panel of a denim jacket on its own without needing anything else around it
- Quilt sashing accent stripUse it as a sashing accent strip between quilt panels where you need something wide and graphic but not overly decorative
- Table runner centre motif bandPair two runs mirrored end-to-end on a long linen table runner for a symmetrical botanical band down the centre
- Linen cushion cover base borderStitch along the base of a linen cushion cover in a tonal thread and it gives texture without adding colour

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.
