Its a sewing machine silhouette, 3 sizes from 3.85 up to 5.24 inches, but not a plain one. The silhouette has flowers and vines growing all over it, wrapping around the body and the needle arm, so the whole shape reads as both machine and garden at the same time. Built the underlay in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio and the floral fill sections use directional stitching so the petals sit at different angles instead of all lying flat in one direction.
Heres what the numbers look like: 3 sizes running from 3.85 inches wide up to 5.24 inches, and the stitch count goes from 27,736 up to 38,478 depending on which size you hoop. Thats a alot of stitches for a single colour design, which tells you how much botanical detail is packed in there. Density is 978, so tape a heavy cutaway behind your fabric and dont rush the satin sections on the stem work.
A customer last week ordered the 5 inch version and put it on a quilting tote in cream cotton, then sent me a note saying it looked like something shed seen in an antique shop. Thats the vibe Im going for with this. Stitch it on linen, denim, or thick canvas and the detail really pops. Skip stretchy jersey unless youre using stabilising topping on top.
Pick white, cream, navy or charcoal thread and youve got yourself a classic. I also get orders where people run this in olive or burgundy on natural oatmeal fabric and it looks honestly fantastic. Use a 75/11 needle for the denser sections and keep your bobbin tension checked before you start.
Holler at me if the file doesnt behave in your software and Ill have a look at it for you.

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.
