{"product_id":"believe-magic-cardinal","title":"Believe in the Magic Cardinal Embroidery Design, Inspirational Quote Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo red cardinals sit on the ends of a curved dark branch, both facing inward toward the text. Each bird has that warm gold-tan patch on the face, the black mask and beak, and the red body built with directional satin so the feather lines are visible. Between them the words read: 'Believe' in big chunky hand-brush lettering that fills most of the width, then 'in the' in small block inline caps tucked underneath, then 'magic' in the same loose hand-lettered style at the bottom with a little looping tail on the g. Scattered around the letters are small star and snowflake marks in thin black thread, tiny but they add movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts the most complex one in this cluster at 9 colours. Stitch density is 441 which is solidly medium, and Ive digitised it in my main software with proper underlay sequences under each colour block so the layers sit flat. The cardinals run first, then the branch, then the text last so the lettering stitches clean on top. Its a longer run than the 2-colour designs but the result is noticeably richer, you can see it in the bird detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer asked me last month whether this one worked for a non-memorial context, and honestly yes it really does. She wanted it for a nursery cushion and the two little birds with the word magic make total sense for that. Ive also seen it go on tote bags, on the front of a linen apron, and on the back yoke of a denim jacket. Pick your background colour carefully on this one: it reads best on white, cream or pale grey fabrics where the dark lettering pops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a cutaway stabiliser, medium weight, on wovens. This one has enough stitch count and colour changes that a tearaway will pull under the tension. Hoop it up snugly so the branch doesnt shift between colour runs. Add a topping on any pile fabric. The smallest size at 1.6 inches wide is tiny but it works as a small badge-style patch or pocket detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmail me if anything looks off with the file.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46046433673366,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BelieveintheMagicCardinalEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1766465623","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/believe-magic-cardinal","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
