The rose on the left is doing the heavy lifting. Its built up with concentric curved rows of satin stitching that layer the spiral petal structure from the centre outward, so you get actual visual depth, not a flat colour block. Each petal ring sits fractionally above the one inside it. The yellow daisy across from it is handled completely differently. Its petals are long, flat, directional satin rays meeting a dense solid brown fill at the centre. A pair of small red accent blooms and those thin-stemmed berry clusters tie the two main subjects together and push upward to add height.
Five colours at 5 stops. Dark green foliage lays down as the base, then red, then brown for the daisy centre, then yellow, then black for the outlines. The sequence is logical and doesnt bounce around. At 3 inches its roughly 6,800 stitches. At 7 inches its just under 21,000, which is what two fully rendered blooms of that complexity at that width add up to.
Ive had alot of interest in this one from sewing teachers. One customer who runs a weekend sewing class ordered the 4-inch version last autumn specifically for a kids colour-change session on quilting cotton. She said the 5-stop sequence was clean enough for beginners to follow and the contrast between the concentric rose and flat daisy petals gave students something to compare. That kind of practical feedback is genuinely useful. Use cutaway stabiliser on wovens for clean satin coverage. Add topping on coarse or open linen weaves before you run it.
Stick to fabrics with body behind them. Anything sheer or loosely woven wont hold the satin flat and youll see ridging along the petal edges.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
