The rainbow in this one isnt a solid band of colour, its built from wildflowers and foliage arranged in an arc. Each section of the arch is a different colour group and theres 9 thread colours in the sequence total, so the colour changes take abit of setup but the result is worth it. Sizes go from 2.02 inches wide up to 4.04 inches wide, and 4 to 8 inches tall because its taller than it is wide. The stitch count runs from 14,436 at the smallest up to 30,764 at the largest.
Density sits at 952 which is on the higher side, so I hooped mine with medium cutaway stabiliser and it held perfectly. The satin sections on the individual petals are laid with directional stitching so the wildflower clusters dont go flat. I digitised the underlay carefully on this one because with 9 thread colours there are alot of layer transitions and poor underlay shows as gaps. Theres no gap issues in the files though.
I put this one on a denim jacket last spring for a customer who asked for a chest placement, and the boho vibe was exactly what she was going for. Pop it on white linen and the colours really sing. Use a topping layer on terry cloth or anything with surface texture to keep the floral detail sharp. Skip dark navy base fabric if you want the full colour effect to show because some of the lighter foliage tones will disappear. Add a stabiliser trim and youre done.
Drop the file in and stitch it out. Drop me a message if you hit any snags and Ill get it sorted.

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.
