Natural afro hair rises up and back from her crown and a bold red headband wraps across the front of it. Her skin is rendered in warm brown tatami fill stitching that catches the light the way proper directional fill does, not just a flat block of colour. A large yellow hoop earring sits at her ear and her lips are a deep red. The whole face has real presence, its not a flat silhouette, its got dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow her hands and around her chest spreads a wide arc of tropical flowers in magenta, pink, orange and crimson, with a few open-wing monarch butterflies scattered through the stems. Aqua teal leaf shapes fan out between the blooms. Ten colours total, 10 colour changes for the machine, stitch count from 14,448 on the smallest 3.50-inch size up to 39,209 on the largest at 7.50 inches. The bloom section carries most of the density, the butterflies have clean satin column wings, and my standard software digitised the underlay properly so nothing sinks into the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages from womens faith groups and church communities about this one more than almost anything else I make. One customer from a prayer circle in the southeast ordered six copies last february for their annual womens conference tote bags, she asked for the 5.5-inch on cream canvas and sent me message to say the response at the event was really something. Since then its gone to faith conference organisers, women of colour community groups, and a lil natural beauty brand who put it on their staff aprons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on cream, ivory or black cotton for the best colour read. The warm brown skin tones work beautifully against cream linen or natural canvas. Avoid very pale or white backgrounds because the face loses some of its depth, you want enough contrast for the brown fill to anchor the figure. Hoop fusible polymesh underneath here, 10 colour changes and dense satin work in the petal section needs a stable base. Run at moderate speed on the butterfly wings, the narrow satin columns can shift at full pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmail me if you need a different size or run into trouble with any of the file formats and ill take care of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46063834595478,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AfricanWomanFloralPrayerEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1767438446","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/african-woman-floral-prayer","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
