{"product_id":"always-my-mind-forever-heart","title":"Always on My Mind Forever in My Heart Embroidery Design, Memorial Cardinal Quote Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eA red cardinal sits dead centre on top, perched right above the text block like its keeping watch. Below him two tall charcoal candles stand on each side, and between them the quote runs in that mixed lettering style: 'Always' in loose flowing red script, the next two words in solid block caps, 'forever' in red script again, then two more caps, and 'heart' finishing it off in script with a small red heart below. The whole design is wider than it is tall, more of a landscape proportion, which is actually useful for cushion panels and tote bags where a square or portrait design can feel cramped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd this is one of the higher-density designs Ive digitised this year. At 645 stitches per square centimetre the satin work is tight and the thread coverage is very solid. But that high density means you need a cutaway stabiliser with a bit of body to it, not a flimsy one. Medium-weight to heavy-medium cutaway is what keeps the whole piece flat. The cardinal body uses directional satin so even at smaller sizes you can see the feather structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch count runs from about 9,300 on the smallest size to just over 21,000 at the largest. The biggest size at 7.5 inches wide and 4.4 inches tall fits a standard cushion cover front with room around the edges. I had a customer reach out last winter who'd bought this for a sympathy gift and stitched it on a beige linen cushion cover, she said it was the most-commented piece shed ever made. Works on cotton, linen, canvas and felt. Skip thin silks or very open-weave fabrics since the density will cause distortion without the right backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a tearaway on stable wovens if you want clean removal from the back, but anything that shifts even abit hooped up should get cutaway. The landscape proportion also means it sits really nicely as a horizontal framed piece, stitched on natural linen and mounted in a rectangular frame rather than a round hoop. Add a topping on fleece or textured fabric so the satin script doesnt sink.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46046603477142,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AlwaysonMyMindForeverinMyHeartEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1766467245","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/always-my-mind-forever-heart","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
