{"product_id":"charming-open-book","title":"Charming Open Book Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn open book sitting square and flat, pages spread wide, and from the centre of the pages a bunch of flowers and leaves shoot upward. Cosmos-style blooms with dark centres and open petals, some stems carrying round berry clusters, and scattered all around them are small five-point stars and tiny dots. Its a favourite design of mine and I was genuinely suprised by how well it stitches up at the smaller sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole thing is done in outline only, no fill at all. Just clean running stitch and fine column outlines that trace every petal, leaf, star and page edge. That means the base fabric shows through the open areas which is actually what makes this one so versatile. Stitch it in black thread on white linen and it looks like a printed illustration. Stitch it in white thread on navy and you get a completely different vibe. One colour. Done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy favourite use for this one is on library tote bags and book-club gifts. I get messages from reading-group organisers and school librarians pretty much every week about this design. A library coordinator in our town reached out last christmas after she'd stitched it on canvas tote bags for her reading groups end-of-year gathering and said the members were all asking where to get the file. Wasnt expecting that kind of response at all, but this is one of the ones that just keeps moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop the 7.5-inch across a canvas tote front panel and it fills the space well. Stitch the smaller small 3.5 on a bookmark-shaped felt piece and edge it with blanket stitch. Use tearaway stabiliser on woven fabrics, the stitch count tops out at just 5,751 so even lighter backings hold fine. The satin outlines on the book spine and page edges are the fussiest bit so ease tension there, dont rush those sections. Good results on linen, cotton canvas, felt and denim. theres my honest take, dont overthink it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46379456233622,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CharmingOpenBookEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778392459","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/charming-open-book","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
