{"product_id":"charming-owl-2","title":"Charming Owl Embroidery Design, Detailed Bird Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis owl has eight colours in it and a density of 107, which puts it firmly in the complex-fill category. Stitch count at the 7-inch top-inch size is 39,002, so its not a quick project, dont go into this one without a proper setup. Give yourself a good tension check first, and use a 40-weight rayon or polyester thread for the feather fills to get that slight sheen on the chest detail. I get messages asking about the owl design pretty regularly, usually from people doing woodland-themed nursery items or nature-inspired home goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprofessional digitising software handled the digitising and the feather texturing required a specific directional underlay per section, chest feathers run one direction, wing panel another, facial disc in a radial fan. Thats what makes the owl read as three-dimensional rather than flat. The eye highlights are a separate stitch layer on top of the yellow-gold fill, which keeps the pupils from sinking into the background. Density 107 means youre going to need a cutaway stabiliser on everything, no exceptions, regardless of how sturdy the fabric looks. Skip any stabiliser lighter than a medium-weight cutaway, it wont hold the fill tension at density 107.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes from 3 in through 7.5 inches. The smallest at 1,006 stitches is outline-only, but from the 5-inch size upward this design really comes alive with the full colour and detail. I had a customer last september do a set of woodland throw pillows at 6 inches each, owl, fox, and deer, and she said the owl was the one everyone commented on most. Use a medium-weight linen or heavy cotton for best results, and press from the reverse side after stitching with a pressing cloth to keep the thread surface looking fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46338086633622,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CharmingOwlMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776050350","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/charming-owl-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
