{"product_id":"celestial-planets","title":"Celestial Planets Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne crafter sent me a photo of this celestial planets design last month that I genuinely wasnt expecting. She embroiders her own denim jackets and she'd hooped the largest size onto the back of dark indigo, centred between the shoulder seams, and the amber gold just glows against it. Thats what this design does really well: its built for dark fabrics. The big Saturn in the centre uses dense tatami fill you can feel the texture of, and the crescent moon up at the top switches to smooth satin stitch so its almost reflective. Two totally different techniques in one hoop and they dont fight each other at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree ringed planets total, a large one dominating the middle and two smaller ones tucked upper-left and lower-right, plus a scatter of 8-pointed starburst shapes at different scales filling every gap. Silver-grey botanical sprigs in fine directional stitching run vertically through the composition and tie it all together so it reads like one piece, not just a bunch of space stuff thrown at each other. Colour-wise its amber gold and silver-grey, two colours, which keeps it clean even at the smaller 2.27 inch wide size. Stitch count goes from 13,572 at the smallest up to 30,518 at the 4.87 inch wide version, so check your bobbin situation before you start the large one. Use a 75\/11 sharp needle and slow your machine down on the star points, those fine satin rays can skip stitches if you rush em.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoop it on a firm cutaway stabiliser for anything stretchy since the starburst rays are tight satin runs and they'll pull if theres any give in the base fabric. Jersey, fleece, kinda anything with stretch really needs that cutaway. On stable canvas or cotton twill a medium tearaway works fine. Pop a topping layer on minky or fleece so the directional fills dont sink into the pile. The density holds at 836 stitches per square inch which keeps all those star points crisp, so theres no need to skip detail on smaller hoopings. Iron your stabiliser flat before hooping and the alignment stays clean even at the 4.87 inch size where the ring detail gets tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet me know if you need it mirrored for a bag flap.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46428673441942,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CelestialPlanetsEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1781951101","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/celestial-planets","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
