Golden Ornate Snowflake Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Every arm on this one is filled in. Not just the main spike but all the feather-like filigree between them, tiny detail fills the gaps all the way from the open-work centre ring out to the diamond tips. Its the version you choose when you want the whole motif to feel heavy and detailed and kinda maximalist in a good way. Really really different from a plain geometric snowflake.

Stitch counts go from 9,989 on the 3.5-inch size up to 21,019 on the 7.5-inch version. Five sizes total. Single gold thread, no colour changes needed. Density is at 431, heavier than the basic version, so use a good cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising keeps the satin columns and that hollow centre ring from collapsing together during the stitch-out.

Im getting orders from people doing hoop art with this. The 7.5-inch version fills a 10-inch hoop nicely on cream linen or natural cotton twill and the filigree detail shows up really well on tight-weave fabric. Last year a customer sent me a photo of it hooped on sage green linen in a wooden frame and honestly it looked like something youd see in a boutique. Send me message if you want advice on which size fits your hoop.

Use it on stable woven fabrics where the delicate feather fills can sit flat and hold their shape. Cotton canvas, linen, twill and tightly woven poly blends all work well. Skip fleece and terry for this one because all that dense fill gets lost in the pile. Cream, ivory, sage, forest green or charcoal cloth all let the gold show clearly.

Hoop tight. The dense fill means the stabiliser has to hold the fabric absolutely still or those sharp arm points drift. Tearaway works on stiff canvas. Add a light topping on any textured cloth so the arm fills dont sink into the weave. Send me a note if anything looks off after stitching it out and Ill fix the file fast.
