Drew this one up with a nautical crowd in mind but honestly it crosses over into general botanical territory pretty easily. The wheel is a classic ship helm, eight spokes, round outer rim, a small hub at the centre. The lower portion of the wheel sits right on top of a cluster of flowers, open daisy-style blooms with detailed petals, leaves and curling stems weaving between the spokes. The whole thing is done in a warm orange, one colour, no stops.
5 sizes from 4 inches up to just under 8 inches, and the stitch range is from compact wallet hoops scaling up to 34,481 at the largest. Thats alot of coverage on the bigger versions, the density at 539 per cm2 means the orange fills in solid without looking patchy. Use a medium to heavy cutaway stabiliser because the spokes are narrow satin columns and they need a firm base or they drift. I run this at medium machine speed, dont push it on the floral cluster sections, theres alot of directional stitching in there.
Stitch it in rope-coloured thread on white canvas for a coastal look. Navy tote bags with orange wheel look like proper nautical merchandise. A customer last spring bought this for a sailing club, they had it put on polo shirts in a terracotta thread on white fabric and it looked like something you'd pay twenty dollars for in a harbour shop. Skip the topping on smooth woven fabrics, but if youre going on pique polo or fleece, lay heat-away film across the hoop over the floral section.

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.
