The horse is in that classic mid-gallop fairground pose, front legs kicked out, back legs trailing, the whole thing caught in motion. Blush pink body, flowing hot pink mane that curls at the ends in those loose romantic scrolls you see on vintage merry-go-rounds. Navy blue saddle with a round ornamental medallion on the flank. Striped candy pole running top to bottom with a bow-knot finial at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven colours and the ornate flank detail is where everything lives. Its a circular inset with a decorative fill that creates that embossed fairground look without going overboard on stitch count. The mane and tail are layered satin fills so they have actual depth rather than a flat silhouette. Candy-stripe on the pole uses alternating direction stitches to get that wrapped-ribbon effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes go from 3.06 by 3.51 up to 6.54 by 7.51 inches, giving five placements from a small badge to a big centrepiece. Biggest size comes in at 25,754 stitches with a density of 524, which is medium-weight work. A standard medium cutaway stabiliser and firm hooping is all it needs. Id say this one stitches out smoother on woven cotton or canvas than on fleece, the fine line details in that ornate circular inset hold better on tighter weaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks brilliantly on white, pale pink, cream or soft grey fabric. The digitiser who organise the stitch sequences put the mane colours after the body fill, which is the right order so you dont get thread show-through on the pink. A customer who makes party bags told me this christmas she used this one more than any other fairground design because its charming enough to be the only decoration the bag needs. Use cutaway backing on anything with stretch and hoop it firm. Stitch the candy pole section last so the stripe colours dont bleed into the hooves. Avoid rushing the pink sections, they need a clean slow pass to keep the curls defined. Send me a chat note message if the pole stripe or the saddle medallion needs a tweak and Ill sort it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45916566913174,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CarouselHorseEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764751285"},{"product_id":"carousel-ride","title":"Carousel Ride Embroidery Design, Fairground Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eStitched out the full carousel, the whole thing top to bottom. Conical striped canopy in red and white panels sits at the top, a small yellow flag at the peak. Six large daisy medallions ring the canopy edge, each one a sunflower-style burst in orange-gold, and they space evenly so the whole design feels balanced. Four golden horses hang on poles below the canopy, simple stylised silhouettes with flowing yellow manes that read clearly at distance even on the smaller sizes. Platform base is a solid gold-yellow slab with a row of small red detail dots along the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven colours total and the red, the white, the yellow and the gold each do a lot of heavy lifting across this carousel composition so theres not a lot colour-stops per section. Density comes in at 789 stitches per square inch, this is the densest design in the carousel group, and the large size reaches 39,350 stitches. Stick to a medium-to-heavy cutaway stabiliser, use a sharp 75\/11 embroidery needle and slow your machine speed down a notch on the canopy fills if your machine has a tendency to skip on tight density work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes are 3.1 by 3.51 up to 6.64 by 7.51 inches, so five options from a small patch all the way to a full cushion-front design. Digitised in digitising tools, so the stitch density across the canopy panels is consistent, which matters when youre filling large red sections where uneven density shows up as patchy satin. A customer who does kids room decor stitched the large version on a oat pillow cover last november and said the bold red and yellow reads like a vintage fairground poster print. Run the small version on a pale cotton tote for a nursery-themed gift that costs almost nothing to make. Avoid very dark fabrics on the horses section, the gold manes lose definition on black or charcoal backgrounds. Use a topping on any textured fabric so the canopy stripes stitch in clean parallel lines. Email me if there are missed stitches around the canopy stripe joins and ill re-send a corrected file.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45916573728918,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CarouselRideEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764751705"},{"product_id":"carousel-unicorn","title":"Carousel Unicorn Embroidery Design, Girls Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlayed with the carousel format and swapped the horse for a unicorn, which sounds obivous in hindsight but nobody seems to have done it well. White unicorn body, one foreleg raised so it looks like its in mid-prance, gold spiral horn, rainbow mane and tail in separate layered satin fills of yellow, pink and teal. Pink pole runs through the centre from the raised platform up to the canopy. Canopy is a round dome shape in a grey-teal with white star dots scattered across it and a pink scalloped fringe around the edge. Pink star at the very top of the pole. Platform base is pink with small daisies spaced around the rim in yellow and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine colours and theyre all doing something distinct. The rainbow mane is the trickiest bit technically because each colour band is a narrow satin fill, but my main digitising tool sequences them so theyre stitched back to back with no jump threads in between. The canopy starfield is a scatter of small satin stars which sounds tedious but stitches out quickly because each one is only a few dozen stitches. Nine colours. All necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from 2.25 by 3.5 up to 4.82 by 7.5 inches, five options. Biggest tops out at 27,327 stitches with a density of 756, so this needs firm hooping and a medium-weight cutaway under any stretch fabric. Best results on pale pink, white, lavender or mint cotton. A customer who makes unicorn party gifts stitched the medium size on white zip pouches last spring, added a girls name above it and said every single one sold at the school fair inside 20 minutes. Use a topping on any soft cotton so the star dots on the canopy stitch cleanly. Avoid dark fabric backgrounds, the white body and pale star details disappear on navy or black. Hoop this one tighter than usual on stretch fabric, the density pulls hard on those layered mane colour bands. Text me if the horn colour looks off on your machine display and Ill confirm the correct thread match.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45916589031574,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CarouselUnicornEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764752865"},{"product_id":"christmas-gnome-king","title":"Christmas Gnome King Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBold little gnome king standing at attention with a gold crown sitting on top of that massive white beard. He's wearing a long robe in deep royal purple with gold trim along the hem and cuffs, and over one shoulder he's hauling a bulging christmas sack in dark green with a red tie at the top. The beard does what gnome beards do, it dominates the face entirely, only the crown and a hint of a pointed red hat above it show above the white fluff. Eleven colours and none of them feel wasted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour sizes, smallest at 3.51 inches wide, the largest at 6.51. Stitch counts running from about 19,000 up to nearly 37,000 at the biggest. The crown jewel details and the robe trim are what push the count higher than a plain gnome design, but its all detail that you can actually see in the finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer who runs a holiday craft business ordered this for a keepsake stocking she was selling. She told me she wanted a gnome that looked a bit different, not the same plain hat design everybody uses. She was happy with it. I keep the file clean so the details dont get muddy even on medium-weight cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun this on a cream or ivory background and the purple robe and gold crown really come through. Works on forest green felt too if you want the sack to blend into the background and let the king figure stand out. Use the larger sizes on stockings or cushion covers, the smaller sizes on pocket panels or holiday card stock fabric. Dont shrink below the smallest supplied size or the crown detail closes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEleven colours is a longer thread list but the software I use ordered the sequence by colour groups so its manageable. Beard first, then robe sections, crown detail near the end. The jewel spots on the crown are tiny satin fills so take your time and keep them slow. Use cutaway stabiliser underneath especially on thicker fabrics, the density through the robe area is high enough that a tearaway will pucker on you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46074029932694,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChristmasGnomeKingEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1767767003"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/collections\/Circus_Clowns_Machine_Embroidery_Design.png?v=1759833300","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/collections\/circus-clowns.oembed","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
