{"product_id":"floral-sewing-2","title":"Floral Sewing Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a vintage sewing machine, the old-style cabinet kind with the arm and wheel and the needle bar all drawn in clean outline, and at the base and across the front a bunch of open roses and leafy sprigs has sort of grown up around it. The flowers are detailed, open petals with the centre circle showing, small berries dotted through the stems, leaves with vein lines. The machine and the flowers share the same line weight and the same single colour so they blend into each other in a way that feels a bit like an old botanical illustration, but with a sewing machine in the middle of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle colour, 4 sizes, smallest is 3.33 inches wide at just over 10k stitches and the biggest is 5.83 inches at 17k. The outline density sits at 418 which is comfortable for most fabrics. Wilcom kept the line continuity good through the floral section, the petal outlines dont break and the leaf veins stay readable at all 4 sizes. The sewing machine body is just outline stitching, no fill, which keeps the whole thing light and lets the floral detail do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI drew this for quilters and seamstresses who wanted something for their sewing room without it being too cute or kitsch. I get a steady stream of orders from women setting up fabric studio spaces who want something to stitch on a linen apron or a project bag that reflects their hobby without being a cartoon. One customer last september hooped this onto the front panel of her handmade sewing machine cover and I thought that was brilliant, really honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks in basically any colour thread on white or cream fabric. Try it in a dusty sage green on cream linen for a botanical feel, or dark navy on natural muslin, or even a warm rust on oatmeal cotton. Single colour means you can match the thread to the room or the bag without redesigning anything. Avoid dark ground fabrics because the fine outline detail disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTearaway on woven linen or cotton is the standard approach here. The outline stitching is fine enough that you dont need a heavy stabiliser, a medium tearaway does the job. Hoop snug because the tall machine body has vertical lines that drift if there is any give in the hoop. Use a water-soluble topping on textured linen to stop the thread sinking into the loose weave.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46216271954070,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FloralSewingMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1769664706","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/floral-sewing-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
