{"product_id":"africa-love","title":"Africa Love Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eRight so this is one of my favourites from the pride series. The word LOVE laid out 2x2 like a square, but the O isnt actually there, instead theres a solid green silhouette of the African continent sitting in that corner with a tiny yellow crown perched right on top of where Egypt would be. Yellow L upper left, black V lower left, red E lower right, dark green continent upper right with the crown. 4 colours total and the brushwork on the letters has that intentional rough edge, like someone painted em with a wide flat brush in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigitised in my main software across seven sizes from a teeny 2-inch (1.25 wide) at 2,526 stitches up to a chunky 8-inch (4.96 wide) at 21,921 stitches. The continent shape is the densest element since its a solid fill, the smaller sizes pack in serious thread per square inch. Average density is around 552 SPI and total thread on the 8-inch hits 483ft. I used directional satin on the brush-stroke edges so the colour blocks dont look like printed flat blobs, they actually have a bit of stitch movement that catches light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer wrote me last june to say she stitched the 5-inch on her mums apron for a family cookout and her aunt asked for two more on the spot. Thats the kinda design this is. Pop it on something neutral and it does the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on cream, natural linen, heather grey or black fabric where the green and yellow really pop. Stitch with a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser, no shortcuts on knit fabric or the continent edges will pucker. Add a layer of water-soluble topping on terry or fleece to keep the brush edges crisp. Skip dark navy fabric since the green silhouette blends in too much against the base. Use a 75\/11 ballpoint needle on jersey to stop snags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrop me a note in shop chat if you need a colour swap (the L can become red if you want a different balance), I usually rebuild the colour stops within a day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46212396384406,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AfricaLoveEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1769493091","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/africa-love","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
