{"product_id":"afro-girl","title":"Cute Afro Girl Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eMocked up a really detailed portrait here. Its a close bust shot of a young Black girl, big braided puff sections sitting up on both sides of her head, hands pressed together and cupped under her chin. The expression is that perfect half-lidded unbothered look, realy expressive without being overdone. Purple top just barely peeks out at the base of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe braid fill is where the stitch work gets interesting. Each puff section uses a tight diagonal cross-hatch tatami that actually reads as braided texture rather than just a dark blob. Small yellow, pink and purple bobble beads are dotted along the hairline and hanging from the braid ends, all satin-filled circles with black outlines. Lashes are individual satin strokes that fan out from the upper lid. Lips have a two-tone fill so the lower lip catches a highlight. Thirteen colours total, which sounds like alot but every single one earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe digitising software digitisation at 1212 stitches per square inch. Maximum stitch count is 60,110 on the large, so this is a heavy design. Ive got 5 sizes from 4.01 by 3.1 inches up to 8.01 by 6.19. Those big sizes are the ones people reach for. I get messages about this design regularly from folks doing tote bag fronts and sweatshirt chest pieces where the portrait really has room to breathe. Last autumn a customer sent me photos of two she stitched on matching denim jackets for herself and her daughter, and the braid detail on the 7-inch version genuinely looked embroidered-by-hand, not digitised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a medium-to-heavy cutaway stabiliser, hoop tight, and float a layer of water-soluble topping on textured fabric so those fine lash strokes dont sink in. Go with smooth cotton twill, denim, canvas or a good stable knit. Skip open-weave linen for this one, the bead fill circles need a firm base or they pucker. Dark fabrics work here because the skin tones are warm brown rather than pale, so they hold up against charcoal and navy just fine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45854633820310,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteAfroGirlMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763608770","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/afro-girl","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
