Rise Above the Storm Sunflower Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download

This one came out more dramatic than most of my floral-quote designs, kinda on purpose. The sunflower is full and detailed, petals built up in overlapping directional satin fills so they have real depth when the light hits them, and behind it theres storm-cloud shapes done in a charcoal or slate grey that give the whole thing weight. Its not just a flower with text dropped under it. The three-colour layout means you get the golden yellow petals, dark brown centre, and the grey storm shapes all reading as separate layers rather than muddy together.

The stitch count is high, 34,881 on the largest 8-inch version, so this one genuinely needs a heavy cutaway stabiliser, especially on any stretch or knit fabric. Ive had people try this on fleece without proper cutaway and they ended up with petals pulling inward because the density is 605 and thats alot of thread tension pulling lighter backings around. On firm quilting cotton or denim it stitches out cleanly. A customer sent me a note after running the 6-inch size on a denim tote and said the density was worth it because the petals practically look sculpted. Dont skip the 90/14 needle if your machine starts skipping stitches mid-project.

Ping me a chat if you have any trouble with the file and Ill repair it fast. Stitch it on a jacket panel for a bold statement piece. Use firm cutaway and hoop tight to keep the background cloud layer from shifting. Pick the 5-inch size for a bag panel and the 8-inch for a home dec pillow centrepiece. Avoid thin batiste or gauze where the high stitch density will stiffen the fabric completely. Send a quick note if anything looks off and Ill resend the file.
