Leafy Stem Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a tall narrow leafy stem herb sprig, kinda four small paired leaf clusters stacked up the upper half and two longer pointed leaves arching outward from the base. Reads like a rosemary or thyme cutting, vertical and clean. The aspect ratio is super tall and narrow, the largest 4.5 in size is barely an inch wide, so it climbs up the fabric rather than spreading sideways.

Every leaf carries solid satin fill with the stitch direction running parallel to the blade, so light skates down each leaf. The spine itself is one continuous running-stitch line. No outline, no second tone, theres no centre detail, its flat green foliage on a thin bone.

Three sizes ship. 2.5 in (1,186 stitches), 3.5 in (1,646 sts) and the tall 4.5 in (2,167 sts). Density 398 which is comfortable on light cotton and jersey without going board-stiff. Wilcom digitised, single thread, zero swaps. Suits a slow wellness aesthetic kinda well, customers are using it for yoga mat carry straps, brand labels on small herbal tea sachets, the outer side seam of leggings. Last february a yoga instructor sent a pic of her studio tote with the largest running up the side panel, said it sat flat and didnt buckle through a wash cycle.

Pop a tearaway under woven cotton totes and aprons. Switch to cutaway for jersey leggings or any stretch wear, the long satin blades just wont sit flat on stretch if the underlay slacks off. Hoop it really tight. Quilting cotton or a linen tea towel will take the small 2.5 in along a hem fine. Avoid loud printed cloth, the narrow vertical spine kinda just gets swallowed by busy graphics. White, oatmeal, sand, sage and soft butter yellow all give it a clean read.
