{"product_id":"butterflies-hand-2","title":"Butterflies and Hand Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI get messages every so often asking for butterfly designs that arent just the butterfly on its own, and last april a customer specifically said she wanted something that felt more personal for a memorial tote she was making. The hand element changes the whole reading of the piece, suddenly its about letting go, or freedom, or something personal, and customers respond to that in a way a plain butterfly outline just doesnt get. Nine sizes, 3,028 stitches at the smallest 2.96-inch width, 7,256 at the largest 6.34 inches, density at 153 per square inch. Light. Fast to stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is open line-art with minimal fill, stabiliser choice actually matters more here than on dense fills. Use a tearaway on woven cottons and a light cutaway on knits, the outline satin lines catch tension pulls on stretchy fabric without a proper stabiliser base. Avoid heavy topping on this one; the fine butterfly wing veins are single-needle run stitches and topping residue can mat them down. Skip the spray adhesive too if you're hooping knits, just use the cutaway flat and tape the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch this on a tote bag for a yoga or wellness brand. Put it on a scarf hem. Use it on a journal cover as a simple accent. The low density means even a hand-quilted cotton square handles it well without puckering, and the quick stitch time, under 10 minutes on most machines at the mid sizes, makes it realistic for small production runs. On lighter fabrics, go with 60wt thread in the outline sections to keep the lines fine and proportionate to the open design. Avoid dark fabrics unless you're contrasting intentionally, the open space reads poorly on black without a fill to anchor the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46381935067286,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ButterfliesandHandEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778560197","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/butterflies-hand-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
