   Describe the embroidery style

   Pick a stitch style and say it directly. Three patterns work well: 'hand-embroidered hoop art look — visible thread texture, satin stitch fills, cream linen background,' 'cross-stitch pattern style — chunky pixel-grid stitches on aida cloth,' or 'simple outline embroidery — black thread silhouette only, white linen background.' Naming the technique (satin, cross-stitch, outline, chain stitch) gets you the right aesthetic on the first try.

   Tip: The output is a stylized image, NOT a real .pes / .dst embroidery file. Pair this with a free pattern tool if you actually plan to stitch it.
