{"product_id":"blue-bird","title":"Cute Blue Bird Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI get messages asking for bird designs pretty regularly and this blue bird is one of the ones people keep coming back to. Fourteen colours in a design this size, smallest goes 2.67 inches wide, tallest size reaches 6.5 inches high, is honestly alot to manage in a hoop but Ive worked the colour order carefully in professional digitising tools so the changes flow logically from the background fills outward to the detail layers. The stitch count runs from 14,553 at the smallest up to 29,914 on the largest, and the density sits at 928 which is on the higher side but necessary for getting those feather fills to actually read as feathers rather than flat blocks of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven sizes, all tested, all behaving well on cotton. The directional stitching on the wings takes some careful hooping, make sure the grain of the fabric runs straight or the feather directions look off. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser, especially for the 4 and 5-inch sizes where the breast fills are dense. Heres the thing about 14-colour designs: your bobbin thread shows if the tension isnt right, so do a test run on scrap fabric first and check the underside before committing to your final piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white, cream or light grey fabric so the blue and rust tones pop. Cotton quilting fabric, canvas and linen all work well. Avoid dark backgrounds unless ya want just the outline effect, the mid tones in the wings wont show up on navy. A customer told me last monday she put this on a set of linen tea towels for a birdwatcher gift set and they sold out at a craft fair same weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessage me if you need a size thats not in the pack or want to swap a colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46362789707926,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteBlueBirdEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777287099","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/blue-bird","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
