Four Daisies Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Four daisies, stacked in a column. Each one has the same classic shape: a round yellow centre with a black outline, then white petals radiating out around it, also outlined in black. Its not complicated, thats the design. The narrow vertical proportion is the interesting bit because it makes it behave like a border element. Stack it along a hem, run it down a shirt placket, repeat it across a towel edge.

Three colours and 12 colour changes because each of the 4 flowers runs through the same white, yellow, black sequence individually. The stops are organised so you load one bobbin and one top thread at a time, its not as fiddly as it sounds once youre in the rhythm. The density sits around 526 stitches per inch in the petal satin sections. Not heavy, but you still want a light cutaway under woven fabric to keep the petals sitting flat.

Sizes go from 0.98 x 3.5 inches at the small end up to 2.11 x 7.5 inches at the large end. Thats very narrow and very tall, which is intentional. Youre not hooping this as a centrepiece, youre hooping it as a strip. Works on shirt sleeve bands, pillowcase borders, apron hem strips, linen napkin edges. One buyer last summer ran the 7.5-inch version as a repeating strip down a white cotton tablecloth and it looked like something from a french farmhouse linen shop. Alot of people also use it as a single placement on a pocket or a collar corner where the small 0.98-inch version sits perfectly. I get notes from buyers who repeat it 3 or 4 times across a hem and the evenly-spaced result looks genuinely sewn-in rather than added on.

Stitch counts run from 3,109 to 8,318 so its fast on the machine. Use tearaway on woven fabric, cutaway on knits. Skip light voile or organza without topping or the petals will sink. Text me if theres a format issue and Ill get it fixed straight away.
