Red Hibiscus Flower Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Two red hibiscus blooms, one sitting just above the other, petals fanned wide and dense with satin fill. The colour isnt just flat red either, theres darker burgundy shading at the petal base that pulls inward and white highlight streaks running out toward the tips, so the petals look kinda three-dimensional when you stitch it out. The stamens are a lotta fine detail, those long central columns with the tiny gold anthers at the top. genuinely hard to believe how clean the anthers come out at full size.

Green leaves sit tucked behind the lower flower, large and smooth with visible veining. Thin curling scroll tendrils at the base give it that decorative botanical-print feel, they kinda just trail off at the bottom which I actually love because it stops the design looking too contained. Dense stitching overall, density runs at 991 which puts it in the higher range, so good stabiliser and a lotta patience on bigger hoops is the move here.

I get orders for this one from tropical resort gift shops and Hawaiian-themed event planners doing custom staff shirts and tote bags. One bridal florist in Florida grabbed the 4-inch size last spring for her summer wedding collection aprons and sent me photos, they looked gorgeous on the white linen. Ya can also use this for anniversary gifts and travel keepsakes if your customer has a thing for island vibes.

Stitch it on white or cream cotton for the biggest colour impact, the red really pops on pale grounds. Ivory linen brings out a warmer, vintage floral character. Skip dark fabric because the scroll tendrils are grey thread and theyll vanish. Pop the full 7.5-inch wide version on a tote bag front or cushion panel. Use the 3.5-in build on a shirt pocket or the bib of an apron.

Use cutaway stabiliser on all sizes, the density is high enough that tearaway wont hold cleanly. Hoop firm and back off the speed on the satin petal fill sections, rushing the directional stitching pulls the fabric. The stamen column is done in satin so keep your bobbin tension balanced or it cups. Drop me line if anything looks off on the first test run and ill take a look.
