Floral Woman Silhouette With Butterflies Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Right-facing silhouette. The whole figure is solid black, head shoulders and floral crown all one piece, with a single rose blooming front and centre in the hair and smaller daisies scattered around the back. Three butterflies float around her, one near each side of the head plus a third hovering over a floating hand off to the right. The hand holds out a finger and a fourth butterfly has just landed on it. Storybook, slightly fairy-tale, very papercut feel.

Single colour file. Black thread top to bottom, the machine runs it from start to finish without a stop. Stitch counts run 14,970 at the small 4-inch all the way up to 38,837 at the big 9-inch. Density 541 because the silhouette is solid satin across a wide area, no negative space in the head or shoulders. Ive digitised it in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with directional underlay running across the hair contour and a tatami fill under the bigger solid areas, thats what keeps em from pulling on cotton.

One catch. The floating hand and the three drifting butterflies sit off the main silhouette, so the stitch order jumps around the design before settling on the body fill. Hoop firmly. Loose hooping and theyll misregister, the floating elements end up off-position from the head. Use heavy cutaway behind cotton, fusible cutaway under jersey. Best on cream linen, sage canvas, blush cotton, ivory, or any light pastel ground. Avoid busy prints obviously, the silhouette needs negative space to breathe.

One customer ordered the 7-inch for her daughters bedroom door last spring, she made it into a hoop wall art piece. She used cream linen stretched in a 9-inch wood frame, set the wood-stained hoop screw at the top, and she said visitors keep asking where she got the print. Dm me if youd like the linen-stretching trick she used to keep it taut, ill type it up for you.
