{"product_id":"blessed-mama-2","title":"Blessed Mama Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo words, stacked. Blessed at the top in flowing cursive, the lowercase letters connected, the descenders and ascenders with enough clearance between them so nothing crowds. Mama underneath in bold wide serif caps, the letters spaced slightly for breathing room. The cursive word extends a lil bit past the block text on each side which balances the weight difference between the two styles. Thats basically the whole design and thats exactly why it works, sometimes restraint is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle colour, density 262. Very light. The smallest 1.7-inch version runs just 3,071 stitches, so it sits on a pocket, collar or cuff without pulling the fabric. The largest at 6.78 by 8.01 inches hits 14,204 stitches which is still on the lighter side for that footprint. Because its single colour and low density, almost any stabiliser works: light tearaway on stable quilting cotton, medium tearaway on canvas, cutaway on knits. The satin fills on the cursive letterforms have a light underlay so the thread lays smooth and the letters dont gap at the turns. Pick a needle size that suits your stabiliser and dont rush the stitch speed on the tight turns in the ascenders. Serif caps on Mama use a single-pass satin at an angle that reads solid at all 7 sizes without any compensation issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMothers day is when I get the most orders for this one, but honestly its an evergreen piece year round. Last April a customer who makes personalised gift pouches for hospital maternity wards bulk ordered it for a volunteer project, she said the new mums took them home as keepsakes. Something about keeping it very simple makes it feel more genuine than the designs that try to say everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick your thread colour based on your fabric. Black on cream linen is a classic and never wrong. Gold on white linen gets used alot for the more formal gift pieces. White on dark navy or forest green cotton is popular for boutique makers who want a subtle version. Avoid mid-tones on mid-tones, the detail in the cursive Blessed letterforms disappears if theres not enough contrast between thread and fabric. Use a stabiliser appropriate to your fabric weight and stitch at medium speed through the letterform sections to avoid thread breaks on the tight curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText me if you have any trouble with the file and Ill get the right version over to you straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46074162577558,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BlessedMamaEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1767775807","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/blessed-mama-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
