Sunflower Bicycle Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Side view of a vintage cruiser bike, stitched out in black with hatched shading on the frame so it looks sketched not flat. Where the wheels should be, you get two big yellow sunflower heads with dark centres acting as the rims, and the front basket is overflowing with a sunflower bouquet plus dark feathery leaves spilling out the top and over the handlebars. Just two thread colours, yellow and black, but the design reads loud because the contrast hits hard against any pale fabric.

Five sizes from 2.53 inches wide at the smallest up to 5.41 wide on the largest. Stitch counts 12,349 to 28,606. Density measures 704 which is medium-heavy and that holds up because the chassis relies on tight black satin to keep the frame crisp, especially at the smaller versions where the handlebars get fiddly. I digitised it in my digitising suite with directional fill on every sunflower petal, the petals fan out from the centre so light catches each one differently when stitched in rayon thread.

One customer ordered the 4-inch back in june for a set she was suprised was selling out at her summer farmers market booth, by week three of saturday markets shed reordered twice. Apparently every grandma in town wanted one.

Use medium cutaway behind it. Quilters cotton, linen, natural canvas, cream cotton duck or kona cotton all great. Avoid black or navy fabrics, the bicycle outline wont read on dark ground and itll look like a pile of sunflowers floating in space. Pop a layer of water-soluble topping under the needle on towels or anything with nap. Run a 75/11 sharp needle, drop your speed slightly on the largest version to keep the petal satin smooth. Dont skip the topping on terry towels.

Dm me if you need the size dropped lower than 2.53 inches for a pocket placement, I keep a 1.8 trim variant on hand for that.
