Description

Because of the more intricate shapes, this project has a higher technical application demanding a high level of precision.

The flower’s growth lines remain crucial in guiding the stitch direction.

Within this design are two butterflies, one pictured from a side view and the other with its wings spread.

There are many symbolic meanings associated with the butterfly such as joy, long life and love, and it is a popular symbol in Chinese art.
