Vintage Floral Car Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This one is gonna take a bit more machine time than your average design because the stitch count runs to 47,537 at the full 5.34-inch width. Its kinda just worth it though. The car is drawn from behind, that classic rounded Beetle silhouette, and the whole body carries a sage mint fill that sits really nicely against white or cream linen. White ribbon streamers curl off the roof and the bouquet across the bumper packs full peony and rose shapes with leaf clusters, all drawn with black outline detail work and white thread fill.

my workhorse software mapped the petal density at 1,187 which is what gives the roses that layered, dimensional look when they stitch out. Im not gonna pretend you can rush this one. Use a good heavy cutaway stabiliser and a 75/11 needle on medium-weight cotton or linen. Skip topping on tight cotton weave but add a film layer over the bouquet area on cream linen so the white fill doesnt sink into the texture. The ribbon streamers run in loose satin that gives them that billowy, floating feel rather than stiff outlines.

4 sizes from just over 3 inches up to 5.34 inches wide. Most customers hoop this for wedding items: ring pouches, bridal totes, table runner corners. One customer ordered the 4-inch hoop on a cotton ring pouch just before her wedding and shared the album with me a week later, the sage car against the ivory fabric was exactly the vintage look she was going for. Stitch the 3-inch size onto a cotton handkerchief and its a genuinely lovely handmade gift. Send a chat note message if you want to talk through sizing before you start hooping.

Run the 5-in for natural linen with good stabilising and the sage fill comes out smooth and rich. Keep your bobbin thread light-coloured on pale linen so it doesnt bleed through the white sections.
