A Ulysses Swallowtail butterfly floats before a bunch of spring tulips in a machine embroidery design that is perfect for making pillows, sweatshirts, totes, and more. While the background of this motif contains sheer stitching and white areas that are open to fabric, the butterfly is composed of stitching that is more complex. We recommend using a sturdy fabric and medium-weight cutaway stabilizer for best results. A 75/11 sharp sewing needle is also recommended.
