{"product_id":"autumn-maple-leaf","title":"Autumn Maple Leaf Embroidery Design, Fall Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI designed this one back in september after spending a weekend doing leaf-peeping upstate, came home absolutely obsessed with the colour shift on the maple leaves and wanted to capture that in thread. The result is a 24,790-stitch maple leaf that uses 8 separate thread colours to build the full autumn gradient, from deep crimson through burnt orange to warm gold. Its a proper colour progression in satin and fill, and the density sits at 135 which keeps it flat enough for knit fabrics without pulling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch this on a cutaway stabiliser for anything stretchy. I've hooped sweatshirts, canvas tote bags, and even a denim jacket with this and it holds up beautifully on all of them. Use a 75\/11 needle for the lighter sections and step up to a 90\/14 on the dense orange fills, the directional underlay underneath those sections is tight. And skip dark-coloured backgrounds if you can, the amber threads will disappear and youll lose half the leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlot of people have messaged me asking whether the vein lines are satin or running stitch, theyre satin, digitised in industry-grade software, so they have proper coverage and wont look spidery or broken when you pull the hoop. One customer wrote me last autumn saying she stitched it onto a cream linen table runner and it looked hand-painted. Thats exactly the kind of result I was going for with this one. And honestly, at 5.17 inches wide its a big enough design to be the main event on whatever you put it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop it on a patch of water-soluble topping if your fabric has any texture, terry cloth, waffle weave, anything like that, and the satin lines will stay crisp. Holler if something goes sideways with the file and I'll sort it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46404802412694,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BeautifulAutumnMapleLeafEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780289445","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/autumn-maple-leaf","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
