Each sphere is its own lil satin-fill circle and they have to nest together cleanly without the bobbin thread showing at the seams between them. Ended up setting the underlay direction per-segment so the fills butt up neat. Nine colours: Black, Orange, Aqua, Blue, Pink, Sand, Grey, and 2 Red passes for the face and the apple. Nine colour changes, 10 stops, 77 trims on the smallest hoop. Thats alot of stops for a kids design but the result is worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe caterpillar curves over the top of the rainbow arch, its body segments cycling through the colour sequence round the arc. The little face has that big round-eye cartoon look, and theres a pencil lying at the base next to a tiny apple. Real kindergarten energy. One customer grabbed the 5.5-inch version for a canvas backpack front back in July and said it looked exactly like an illustration from a childrens picture book, which honestly made my week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes from 2.58 inches wide up to 5.53 inches, stitches from 12,739 to 34,730. Density is 837 so the fills are dense and opaque on cotton. Use cutaway on anything that stretches. Avoid knit fabrics at the smaller sizes because the segment seams can shift slightly if theres any give in the base. Stitch the 4-inch or 5-inch on canvas or firm cotton drill for the cleanest result. Digitised in my workhorse software, stitch paths are properly ordered to avoid jump-heavy passes across the design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45883212497046,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CaterpillarRainbowBacktoSchoolEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764219969","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/caterpillar-rainbow-back-school","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
