• Use tinted fabric to change the mood without changing thread colors.
• Mix satin stitch and long-and-short stitch on petals/leaves for a botanical-illustration feel.

Printing & transfer tips

A clean transfer makes stitching calmer. Here’s one way to do it:

1. Print at 100% (no scaling) and choose your hoop size
2. Transfer the lines to fabric using your preferred method
3. Hoop the fabric with even tension
4. Stitch outlines first, then fills/textures, then tiny details
5. Finish the back neatly and display in the hoop or frame

Supplies

Gather your basics and you’re ready:

• Embroidery needles, scissors, and a transfer method
• Cotton or linen fabric (tightly woven works well)
• Optional: light source for tracing or stabilizer for extra support
• Embroidery hoop (3″–8″)
• 6‑strand embroidery floss (DMC or equivalent)

Where it looks great

• Gift it as a handmade keepsake (add initials or a date)
• Keep a few hoops ready and rotate designs seasonally
• Stitch it onto a fabric panel for a tote, pillow front, or pouch
• Use it as a practice piece for new stitches before a bigger project
• Frame it in the hoop and hang it as easy wall decor

Why this pattern works

This pattern leans into garden-inspired hoop art without feeling rigid. The linework is clear, and your stitch choices can change the whole vibe of the finished hoop.

If you like neat outlines and satisfying fill areas, you’ll enjoy how the motif builds from simple shapes into a complete scene.

For extra dimension, vary strand count between outlines and fill areas.

Main blooms: a good place to follow the guide closely before improvising. Leafy filler + stems: start simple here, then build depth with stitch direction and strand count. Outer shape/border: a good place to follow the guide closely before improvising.
