{"product_id":"cartoon-elephant-face","title":"Cartoon Elephant Face Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBaby elephant, face-on, both stubby front feet gripping the bottom edge of the frame like it's hauling itself up for a look. The face is wide and round and takes up most of the design. Eyes are big anime-style rounds with a dark navy outline, a pale blue iris, lash detail on the upper lid and a small white highlight dot stitched right in the centre. The lash detail is what makes the expression read curious rather than blank, it's a small thing but it's doing a lot of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody fill is a smooth blue-grey satin, even across the face and trunk. Both ears fan out wide on each side and they're done beautifully. The inner ear is lighter, almost white at the tip, shading into a rosy pink toward the base using concentric oval fills that graduate in tone. There's a small swirl of darker thread at the forehead suggesting a hair tuft. Tiny red dot on the trunk tip. Ten colour changes total, sequenced logically so the stop order's clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 sizes from 3.5 by 2.36 inches up to 7 by 4.73. The peeking-ledge composition means the design sits low in the frame, so place it deliberately near the lower edge of whatever you're stitching. Stitch count tops out at 42,021 on the large size, density is 1,269 per square inch which is high. Use a firm medium-weight cutaway, go slowly on those ear shading transitions, and dont rush through the colour stops. Knit fabric needs a double cutaway layer and a topping so the fill edges stay crisp. Float the topping and pull it away gently after stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer last spring ordered the 5-inch version twice, one for the nursery hoop and one to stitch on a gift bag, and honestly thats the most common pattern I see with this one. I get orders for it all through baby shower season and its one of the designs where folks dont really need convincing. Pick a fabric you trust and hoop it drum-tight before you start. Ping the shop with your order number if the ear gradient doesnt lay flat and Ill take a look at the file.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46369098137750,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CartoonElephantFaceEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777808342","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/cartoon-elephant-face","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
