{"product_id":"butterfly-silhouette","title":"Butterfly Silhouette Embroidery Design, Nature Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnocked out a swallowtail butterfly in three-quarter profile and its not what youd expect from a silhouette. Its not a flat solid block of thread: an open lattice grid runs through both sets of wings, proper vein lines crossing in a structured pattern that leaves open sections between them. So when you stitch it theres a lacy, almost stained-glass quality across the surface rather than a dense fill. Body and antennae are solid. Wings are a framework. One colour, whatever thread you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpper wings are larger with a curved trailing edge tapering to a soft point. Lower wings are smaller and rounder with a scalloped bottom edge. The vein pattern changes between the two sets, coarser grid on the upper, tighter and more curved on the lower. Antennae curve out from the head with small round clubs at the tips. All of it holds cleanly even at the 1.46-inch width which is genuinely small for a design with this much internal detail. 12k stitches at the large 5.35-inch size, barely 3.5k at the smallest so it stitches fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIve seen this one used in ways I didnt plan for when I built it. A customer messaged me last march saying shed used 6 of the 2-inch versions spaced along a cream linen curtain hem and it looked like something from a proper interior design shoot, which I was well chuffed to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on smooth medium-weight woven fabric where the open vein sections stay crisp and dont fill with surface fluff. Avoid fleece or any napped surface since the grid disappears into the pile. A light cutaway works fine here as the stitch count is low. Pick thread in black, dark navy, deep plum, forest green or burgundy. Float on water-soluble topping over linen to keep those fine grid lines sitting up sharp. Hoop firmly even though its a small piece so the open sections stay square all the way through the run. Text me if theres a registration issue with the vein grid and Ill rebuild the registration for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46268220211350,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ButterflySilhouetteEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772356714","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/butterfly-silhouette","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
