Rose Lady Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Just one colour. Red. No fills, no colour changes, no stops until the very end. The whole design is built from a single continuous line in redwork style, the womans profile, the rose petals, the leaves, the trailing stems all run together like the needle never lifted. Its the kind of restraint that looks harder to digitise than a 10-colour piece, actually.

The woman faces left, eyes closed, chin slightly raised. Three large roses cluster around and above her head, the biggest one sitting level with her cheekbone, the others fanning out with leaves running down. At the bottom the stems break into loose individual leaves that trail off. 1 colour, 0 colour changes, 114 trims on the 3.5-inch smallest size. Stitch count runs from 8,767 up to 14,360 for the top 7.5 version.

I made this one with minimal-aesthetic fashion buyers in mind, people who do slow-stitch hoop art or vintage-inspired clothing. It suits denim, natural linen, white cotton and cream muslin really well. The professional tools digitising on the continuous line keeps the stitch path smooth so you dont get those choppy directional jumps that ruin redwork on fabric. Last summer a customer sent me a photo of it stitched in burgundy on a cream linen blouse and it looked like something from an editorial shoot honestly.

Use tearaway stabiliser on woven fabric. Try a light wash-away topping on terry and velvet to keep the single-line stitches sitting on the surface rather than sinking in. Since its 1 colour you can swap red for any thread to match your project. Stitch it in burgundy on cream for a warm vintage feel, or go navy on white for a clean classic look. Pick a lower machine speed on the fine petal detail sections because the stitch density is light and rushing can cause skipped stitches. Dont iron directly over the stitching either as it flattens the line texture aswell.
