Floral Square Frame Outline Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The heavy hitter of the floral frame family. A thin square line frame holds two big clusters of fully filled black satin florals, one bursting across the entire top edge of the square, the other stacked into the bottom-left corner and climbing diagonally up. Each blossom is five-petal with a dark filled centre and pointed leaves crowding the spaces between them. The flowers are completely satin-filled instead of outlined, which gives the whole piece blackwork energy, almost tattoo-flash territory.

Single colour black thread, but dont let the one colour stop fool you, this design is dense. Stitch counts run from 13,276 on the small 3.44 inch up to 27,025 on the largest 7.35 inch size. Density sits at 489 because the satin fills are tight, plan a 40-50 minute run on the big size. Ive built this inside Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, the petals carry directional satin columns, which is what makes them catch light differently as you turn the fabric. Hoop with medium cutaway stabiliser, no exceptions, and add water-soluble topping on anything with nap or your blossoms wont sit on top. Bobbin tension matters on the fill blocks too.

One customer told me last autumn she ordered this for a memorial pillow project, she lost her gran in September and wanted somethin solid and lasting instead of a delicate line drawing. Stitched the 6 inch size on ivory linen with grans name in the centre square. She told me the weight of the black thread made it feel like a proper tribute and not just decor.

Stitch on heavyweight cotton, ivory linen, denim, twill, broadcloth. Skip lightweight lawn or silk, the dense fill will pucker fabric thats too thin. Avoid stretchy knits entirely on the big sizes, fabric movement under the needle will warp the square frame edges. Pair with a name, date, monogram or short phrase in the centre opening in a contrast thread like cream, gold or sage for real impact. The 5 inch size hoops in a 5x7 and youll get around 2 inches of clean centre space.
