Modern Botanical Flower Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a single-thread design and thats really the whole point. One matte black botanical flower on cream linen, stem running straight up, bloom open at the top, two smaller buds off to the side. The petals dont have any fill inside them, its all satin outline work with directional stitching that follows the natural curve of each petal. Looks like someone drew it in ink with a very steady hand.

The density is 697 stitches per square inch, which means the lines stay sharp and dont drag the linen around when its hooped. You wont get that puckering that happens with denser designs on lighter fabric. I digitised it specifically for woven fabrics, so linen, canvas, even a heavier cotton works well. Use cutaway stabiliser underneath, dont go with tearaway on this one because the satin edges need the support. Add a light-coloured topping on top to keep the satin stitches from sinking into the weave on textured linen.

9 sizes run from 2.13 inches wide up to 4.57 inches, stitch counts going from 7,914 at the smallest to 23,900 at the largest. And whatever machine youre running, format coverage on the file-formats page has you covered.

Last spring a customer grabbed the 3-inch version for a linen tote pocket and messaged me saying it looked hand-drawn even up close. Thats exactly what I was going for when I built the underlay structure in the stem. But if youre not sure which size works for your project, Stitch a test run on a scrap first. Pick the size closest to what you need and run it on matching fabric before committing to the final piece. So the smallest at 2.13 inches is kinda compact, good for a pocket corner, and the largest gives you enough room to really see the line work breathe.
