Monstera Potted Plant Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Ive been digitising houseplant designs for a few years now and monstera comes up alot. Everyone loves them. This one shows 3 leaves fanning out of a round pot, and what makes it work is that those oval gaps in each leaf are actually cut out of the fill rather than just outlined. The density is 743 stitches per square inch and it holds those negative spaces properly without pulling or collapsing, which is something ya notice fast when the stabiliser isnt right.

Mapped through Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, 4 sizes from 1.51 inches up to 4.51 inches. Stitch range is 2,691 to 11,367. Two colours only: emerald green for the leaves, terracotta for the pot. The contrast is stronger than you might expect from just 2 colours, because the terracotta sits warm against the cool green. Use a topping layer at the 4.5-inch size and those notch shapes stay crisp and wont fill in during stitching.

I hooped this on an oat linen apron last autumn. Emerald thread on oat linen looks genuinely beautiful, the kind of thing you wouldnt buy in a shop because youd expect it to cost alot more than this. A customer wrote me after receiving the file to say they ran the 3-inch size onto a market bag and it held up through the washing machine fine with cutaway backing.

So if youre stitching onto woven canvas or apron fabric, medium cutaway is all you need. Skip tearaway entirely on anything that gets washed. Grab the 1.5-inch size for a tote pocket corner. Ping me if anything with the file is off.
