This one is a proper background fill. No focal point, no centred motif, just scrolling botanical shapes packed in from corner to corner. Tight curling swirls, broad leaf fans, small teardrop buds, long ribboning tendrils that loop back into em. Every part of the design area is covered. On a 9.51-inch square hoop at the largest size you get something that looks like a carved damask panel, all in a single thread colour.
I get a lotta messages from quilters and textile art people about this one, which makes sense because its the kind of design that reads completely differently depending on what fabric and thread you put it on. Ivory thread on oatmeal linen gives ya a quiet organic look. Metallic gold on black velvet is honestly a lil bit luxe and looks alot more expensive than it costs. Charcoal on sage cotton goes a very French country direction. Last christmas a customer ordered nine of the 9.51-inch panels for homemade gift wrapping samples and sent me pictures, the gold thread on ivory linen was genuinely lovely.
4 sizes, all square: 6.51 inches, 7.51, 8.51 and 9.51 inches. Stitch count climbs from 19,458 up to 25,761 on the biggest, so this isnt a fast ten-minute stitch. 176 to 182 trims across the design because of all the separate loop-back elements. Budget thirty to forty minutes depending on your machine speed. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser because the density of this design needs solid backing underneath. Skip tearaway here entirely, its just not enough for a full-coverage fill that size.
Stitch slowly on the first run especially through the tighter spiral sections in the centre zones. Pop the speed back up once your machine settles into the rhythm. The bobbin thread usage is heavy at 86 to 126 feet depending on size so keep a fresh bobbin ready. Ping me if the file needs adjustment for your specific machine format and ill sort it straight away.

- Embroidered book covers and journal wrapsEmbroider the 6.51-inch version on a book cloth cover in black thread for a handmade journal that looks genuinely considered.
- Decorative tote bag front panelsUse the 7.51-inch size as the front panel of a canvas tote in contrasting thread and the bag becomes the design itself.

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.
