{"product_id":"afro-pride-quote","title":"Afro Pride Quote Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe centrepiece is a womans head in profile facing left, fully filled in solid red as a silhouette, with a big natural afro that takes up most of the upper half of the design. And coming out of that afro is a swarm of small butterflies, digitised in red, yellow and green, fanning out to the right like they just got free. Above the whole thing 'Juneteenth' curves across the top in a cursive script, the letters cycling through the same 3 colours so each syllable shifts tone. Down in the lower right corner 'Freedom Since 1865' follows a gentle arc in white satin stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one is genuinely complex for what looks simple at first glance. Nine colour changes, 10 stops, and at the biggest 7-inch size youre working with around 30,600 stitches across a 7.01 by 6.64 inch footprint. The butterfly cluster is what drives the count up, each lil butterfly gets its own directional fill so they actually read as wings and not just flat blobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI run a 5-inch version on red cotton twill for a customer who operates a natural hair salon in june each year as part of her Juneteenth window display. She stitches em on cream linen panels and hangs them with the other decor. Ive been digitising this style of design since 2022 and the multi-butterfly cluster is the part that takes the most time to balance, getting density right so the wings dont clump together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a firm cutaway stabiliser underneath no matter what fabric you choose, a sequence this long needs solid backing to stay stable. Hoop tight and keep your machine speed at medium or lower for the butterfly section. Solid dark fabric like navy or black lets the red silhouette disappear, so stitch on cream, white, sage or tan cotton for the silhouette to pop. Send me a note if anything in the file looks off when you stitch it out and Ill fix it up for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46226538299542,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AfroPrideQuoteMachineEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1770273823","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/afro-pride-quote","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
