The design runs vertically, which is the main thing to know before you hoop it. Petals splay outward from a central spine like a sunburst, with small leaf clusters sitting between each floral repeat. Its a clean single-colour layout so the thread you pick carries everything. Ivory on linen reads almost antique. White on white poplin goes graphic and modern. The stitch density stays light enough that theres no stiff puckering even on lighter cotton.
I digitised this as a tall narrow strip, narrowest size at 1.96 x 4.51 inches and widest at 3.26 x 7.51 inches, four sizes total with a max of around 20,750 stitches. The underlay is minimal which keeps the piece flexible after washing. Satin columns handle the petal outlines and the leaf veins come through with directional fill so they dont just look flat. Run it on a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and youre set.
One customer last spring ordered this specifically for a tablecloth border, running 4 copies edge to edge. She said it stitched perfectly on the linen with no gaps in the joins. And she sent photos. I wasnt suprised honestly because thats exactly what I had in mind when I set the spacing up.
Stitch it on tea towels, quilt borders, pillowcase hems, napkin edges, linen runners. Add it to the front panel of a tote or down the side seam of a denim shirt. Use cutaway on lighter fabrics and tear-away if youre doing alot of repeat runs on stiff cotton. Pop a single repeat onto a pocket square for something a bit different. Holler at me with a chat if the file misbehaves and Ill sort it.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Tea towel border running multiple repeats edge to edgeStitch multiple copies side by side along a tea towel hem for a complete bordered edge; align the hoop carefully so the stems join up cleanly.
- Quilt sashing or block border strip on cotton fabricRunning along quilt sashing strips adds botanical texture between blocks; single colour means thread changes dont slow down a long quilt session.
- Pillowcase hem detail in ivory thread on white cottonHoop the pillowcase hem flat and stitch in ivory thread on cream fabric for a subtle tonal effect that reads as texture rather than decoration.
- Linen table runner edging for a formal dinner settingThe full 7.51-inch version along a linen runner edge reads as a proper formal table border; last Christmas I ran six of these for a wedding.
- Front panel detail on a tote bag in a single accent colourCentred one repeat on a canvas tote front panel it becomes a clean botanical accent that doesnt read as a border at all.
- Napkin corner accent stitched in matching threadRotate 90 degrees and position at napkin corners for an elegant dinner table touch; tearaway backing keeps the linen lying flat after pressing.

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.
