Yellow Lily Flower Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a lily at full open, not a bud, not a side view. The petals spread outward in that classic star shape lily blooms make, with the stamens clustered at the centre in amber thread. Butter yellow is the main petal colour, the centre is a deeper amber to separate the stamens from the petals visually, and the sage stems and leaves anchor the base. Four colours total, which lets this run fast with minimal thread changes.

Digitised in digitising tools. Density sits at 702, lighter than some of our floral designs, which keeps the petals soft-looking rather than stiff. Nine sizes from 3.11 inches wide at the smallest to 6.66 inches at the largest, stitches going from 10,428 to 35,050. The taller height range means the lily is taller than its wide at some sizes, so plan your hooping around the 7.5-inch height at max size. Use a light tearaway or medium cutaway stabiliser on the white pique cotton this design suits, the density is low enough that tearaway handles it fine on wovens. Add topping over pique weave to keep the satin edges from catching the texture. Skip the tearaway on any fabric with give. Stitch the underlay first so the base stems dont shift when you hit the denser petal fills above.

One customer ran this on a white pique polo last spring, she said the butter yellow reads almost cream against the white fabric in certain light, it looked like the lily was part of the weave. Thats actually a nice effect if you want it subtle. If you want the yellow to pop more, pick a light grey or pale sage cotton instead of white.
