Wildflower Meadow Butterflies Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

So this one is a meadow band of wildflowers running across the hoop in fine outline. Youve got three tall coneflowers with their drooping daisy petals, a couple of those bell-shaped blooms tucked in, ferny leaves climbing up the stems, and two butterflies hovering at the top corners with their wings filled in solid black. The butterfly wings are the only properly filled element. Everything else is line art.

Single colour black thread. No colour stops, no bobbin swaps, the machine runs it start to finish. Stitch counts go from 7,516 on the smallest 3.33-inch size up to 11,703 on the largest 5.55-inch version. Density sits at 281 which is fine for line work. The width-to-height ratio is wider than tall so the meadow band reads horizontal. Aswell as the running outline, the butterfly fills use a directional satin underlay that keeps the wings looking proper crisp on cotton.

Hit a snag last spring when one customer told me she ran the 5-in across the heavy slub linen tea towel and the line work looked too thin against the texture. So pick a flat-weave cotton or a tighter linen if youre going large. The smallest 3.33-inch hoops in a 4x4 frame for collar embroidery or pocket placement. Best on cream, dusty pink, sage green, butter yellow, or natural linen where the black line gets the contrast it needs.

Add a layer of medium cutaway under cotton. Use water-soluble topping if youre stitching on terry or anything textured because the fine outline gets eaten by loops without it. Skip dark fabrics, the black thread vanishes. And dont try this on stretchy jersey, the lines wobble alot when the fabric shifts. I digitised this one with proper short-stitch transitions at every corner so the path doesnt jump weirdly between blooms.

Hit me up after checkout if you want a custom resize, the lineart scales reasonably well between 3 and 6 inches without losing readability.
