{"product_id":"baby-hippos","title":"Cute Baby Hippos Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eCooked up a set of 3 baby hippos because one pose never covers all the nursery items you want to embroider. Top hippo is walking forward, profile view, body low to the ground, that big round head taking up most of the frame. Bottom left one is sitting upright on its bottom with its little front legs sticking out, looking straight at you. Bottom right is mid-trot with motion lines arcing around it showing its moving. All 3 have the same dusty mauve-pink colour on the body, cream belly and muzzle patch, and tiny dark nostrils on that wide flat nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body fill is a smooth satin in dusty mauve with a warmer belly tone to give the hippo a rounded look rather than a flat silhouette. Muzzle is a cream satin oval with the two nostril dots placed on top in dark brown. Ears are tiny half-ovals on top of the head, also in the darker mauve. Motion lines on the trotting hippo are simple outline arcs in the same dark outline colour, not filled, so they read as movement without adding visual clutter. 6 colours total, 9 sizes, and density is 857 spi delivering is comfortable for most machines without being a marathon session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast winter a mum asked me for something soft and gender-neutral for her baby shower gifts. She stitched the sitting hippo on 8 onesies and the profile walker on a set of burp cloths. She sent a photo and the whole bundle looked like it came from a small baby boutique, not a home embroidery machine. That kind of feedback is why I keep digitising sets instead of individual poses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on onesies, burp cloths, cot bedding panels, soft cotton bibs, muslin swaddle edge details or nursery cushions. Pick soft pastel fabrics in white, pale grey, sage, butter yellow or dusty blush and the mauve hippo colour will sit right in without competing. Avoid saturated bright fabrics, the soft palette gets drowned. Use a light to medium cutaway stabiliser under any stretch fabric like jersey onesie cotton and float a soluble topping so the satin fills sit smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes go from 2.36 by 3.5 inches up to 5.06 by 7.5 across 9 options. The 3-pose set means youve got variety built in if youre stitching a matching gift bundle, put the walking one on a onesie, the sitting one on a bib, the trotting one on a burp cloth and wrap them together. Max stitch count is 32,541 on the biggest size which is very comfortable for home machines, itll run clean on a standard 15-minute hoop session without overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45827223486614,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteBabyHipposMachineEmbroideryDesignSet.png?v=1762664678","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/baby-hippos","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
