About this design
Stem With Mauve Flowers shows a flowering branch set on the diagonal: three open bells and two closed buds in plum and mauve tones, carried by a slender stem and long tapered sage-green leaves. A darker outline traces the shapes and gives the design the quiet, delicate look of a hand-drawn botanical plate.
At 68 × 70 mm it sits nicely on a linen pouch, a kitchen towel or the corner of a cushion. On a medium-weight woven fabric a cut-away stabiliser is enough; pick a light background, natural or pale grey, so the white and plum of the machine embroidery stay easy to read.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 6 threads: sage green, white, grey, plum, dark grey, slate blue. The names give the closest shade; pick the one you like in your thread brand.
- Hoop the fabric in a 10 × 10 cm hoop with a stabiliser: tear-away for woven fabric (cotton, linen, canvas), cut-away for stretchy fabric (T-shirt, sweatshirt, bodysuit).
- Stitch the colours in this order: sage green → white → grey → plum → dark grey → sage green → grey → slate blue. The machine stops at each thread change (7 changes, 53 trims).
- Allow about 16 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 7,607 stitches in all.
- For another size, open the design in the studio rather than enlarging it on the machine: the stitches are recalculated and the density stays right.
