Laurel Leaf Wreath Outline Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This isnt a filled wreath. Its an outline version -- the leaves are drawn with a run stitch that gives them a sketchy, hand-drawn quality, like something youd see on an old academic seal or a vintage letterhead. The individual leaves are long and feathery, more olive-branch style than round bay-leaf clusters. Black thread only, single colour, zero colour changes, 2 trims. Density at 105 which is about as light as an outline gets -- it means the design reads as a drawing, not an embroidery fill, and thats the whole point of it.

Only 4 sizes, all on the larger end: 4x3.39 inches at 3,100 stitches up to 7x5.92 inches at 4,341 stitches. Stitch count barely moves between sizes because its all run stitch -- theres no fill area to expand with the hoop. Dont try to use this at 2 inches, the leaf detail becomes too fine for a home machine to track cleanly at that scale. Stick to the 4 included sizes. Use a medium tearaway stabiliser underneath. Hooped on a linen hand towel this finishes in about 8 minutes at the 4-inch size.

The outline style makes this work across fabric weights in a way filled designs cant. Use it on organza overlay bags, on a fine cotton poplin shirt, or on a denim jacket back where filled satin would look heavy. I had a customer email me last April saying she used it on a cream linen blazer collar and it looked exactly like hand-drawn illustration work -- which is kinda what Im going for with the 105 density and run-stitch construction. The sketchy outline has its own character, its genuinely one of the more interesting wreath files Ive done.
