Nature embroidery designs: the Field Guide line
Mushrooms, moths, bees, ferns, wildflowers and woodland animals, each drawn like a plate in an old natural-history book and carved in bold, clean lines that stitch well even small. The Latin name sits under each one in spaced serif capitals.

Plates from an old field guide
Each design is one specimen, numbered like the plates of a field guide: fly agaric mushrooms, a luna moth, a honeybee over clover, a fern with fiddleheads, a foxglove and a red fox. Three or four thread colours each, with the white parts left as bare fabric, so the designs stay light and clean on the garment.
Three sizes for home machines
- 6 × 10 in hoop: about 15 cm wide, with the Latin name. It fills a tote bag or a sweatshirt front.
- 5 × 7 in hoop: about 12 cm wide, with the name, for a chest, a pocket or a cushion.
- 4 × 4 in hoop: the specimen alone, without the name, for kids' clothes, napkins and small gifts.
Each size is digitized at its own size, not scaled. Which hoop do I need?
Which fabric
Cream and white sweatshirts, natural canvas tote bags, linen and cotton tea towels, and pastel colours. Use a medium cut-away stabilizer on sweatshirts and knits, a firm tear-away on canvas and tea towels, and a water-soluble topping on fleece and towels. Every download has a production sheet with Madeira Polyneon codes in stitching order.
