{"product_id":"afro-girl-winking","title":"Afro Girl Winking Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe afro on this one is genuinely huge. It fills most of the design frame and the curly edges go in every direction with that loose wiggly line that makes it look actually kinky and natural rather than a smooth computerised blob. Theres dense directional satin on the interior, the kind of fill that builds up real texture in thread. Then right in the middle of all that hair theres this small cartoon face, chubby cheeks, round glasses sitting low on the nose, one eye winking shut and one big open eye looking straight out at you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wink is whats giving this personality. One eye runs fully closed, just a row of lashes curving downward. The other sits wide open with big round exaggerated lashes, the kind of cartoon eye thats slightly too large for the face which is kinda the point. The glasses are two thick round circles sitting on a small nose with a simple open-line mouth and lips below. Its cartoon-style done right, not clip-art cheap but actually charming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stitch count goes up to 31k on the 7.5-inch run and thats because the afro density is genuinely high across the whole piece. Last year a customer ordered the 4 in piece on a kids backpack patch and even at that scale the curl edge detail around the afro came through clearly and the winking face held its personality. Honestly the cartoon approach helps here because the face keeps simple enough geometry to stay readable at smaller sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white, cream or bright solid colours for the best cartoon pop. Pastel backgrounds work brilliantly for kids items. Avoid dark fabric unless youre thread-swapping to off-white or a contrasting colour. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser because the hair density will pull lightweight backing. Float the hoop if youre stitching on a soft item like a backpack panel. Run the afro fill sections at a reduced speed, the high density needs steady tension to sit flat and avoid puckering on those dense satin runs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46071439130774,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AfroGirlWinkingEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1767596320","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/afro-girl-winking","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
