Red Rose Bouquet Ribbon Embroidery Design, Floral Machine Embroidery, Instant Download

Three colours sounds simple for a bouquet design but when the density is 222 those three colours are doing a lot of heavy lifting. Red petals with directional satin rows curving around each rose head, green leaves with veining underlay, and the ribbon in ivory or white with a smooth satin finish. Seven sizes from 3.31 inches wide up to top 7-in.08 inches, heights 3.51 to 7.51. Stitch counts run from 31,963 at the smallest all the way to 76,056 at the 7.08 inch size. Thats a serious stitch count, recieved a few questions about machine run time and yes, the larger sizes will take 45-60 minutes to stitch out.

At density 222 you absolutely need a medium-to-heavy cutaway stabiliser, dont skip it. The petal sections have multiple thread passes layered on top of each other to build up the dimensional look, and without proper stabiliser backing the fabric will pull and tunnel. The bobbin thread matters too, use a colour that matches the dominant red or the bobbin show-through between stitches will be visible. Ive been digitising floral bouquets for years and the petal shading on this one takes the most care to execute on a 3-colour hooped design. One customer messaged me this january after stitching the 7-inch run on a champagne linen cushion, she said the layered petal texture looked like a real bouquet at arm's length.

Works best on fabrics with a bit of structure, quilting cotton, canvas, denim, or heavy linen. Avoid stretchy knits for anything 5 inches and above, the stitch density is too high for the fabric to handle the tension cleanly. Run the 4.5-in build on a shirt pocket or bag panel, save the 7 inch for a dedicated art hoop or cushion front where it can really be the main feature.
