{"product_id":"axolotl-embroidery","title":"Cute Axolotl Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eAxolotls are having a real moment and this design gets the creature right. Its that chubby round body, the big loose grin, the wide glassy eyes and those feathery gill plumes fanning out on both sides like wings. Each gill plume is a separate fill with individual frond stitches in hot pink, and at the 5-inch size they really do look like proper textured feathers. The bead-effect stitching on the eyes catches the light on smooth fabric in a way thats hard to describe but photographs incredibly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 colours and 12 thread changes sounds like alot but my standard software laid it out so the periwinkle blue body runs first and everything else builds on top. The scattered pink oval blobs around the figure sit flat without puckering because they were digitised as individual small fills rather than one large element. Thats the kind of detail work that separates a frustrating run from a smooth one. The cloud-like dark dorsal fin along the top edge adds silhouette definition that keeps the whole design readable even on mid-tone fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white, pale blue, lavender or mint for the best result. Use medium cutaway stabiliser on anything with any stretch. Run tear-away on structured cotton pouches or jacket panels. Hoop tight especially on larger sizes because the full coverage at 55k stitches on the 5.5-inch version needs a stable base throughout. I get messages about this one pretty regularly, one parent wrote me last christmas saying their kid saw it on a pillowcase and realy wouldnt let anyone else near it. Its that kind of design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45841734664342,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteAxolotlMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763181331","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/axolotl-embroidery","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
