{"product_id":"chicken-whisperer","title":"Chicken Whisperer Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eGift season on the homestead brings alot of scrambling for the right thing to put on the chicken-keeper in your life and this one pretty much solves it. Its a rooster silhouette done in solid coral-red satin fill, nice directional stitching that catches the light, flanked by a pair of bright green laurel branches that frame the whole thing like a proper farmhouse crest. Below the bird sits \"CHICKEN\" in big chunky red block letters, then \"WHISPERER\" underneath in slate-navy, same bold weight. Three colours total, clean separation, nothing muddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI digitised this with pro digitising tools and the stitch density came in around 684 stitches per square centimetre on the rooster fill, which keeps it from puffing up on knit fabrics. Stitch count runs from about 10,406 on the smallest to just under 30,000 on the largest, so the bigger sizes really do feel substantial when they come off the machine. The laurel branches are satin with a tight underlay so they sit flat and dont fray at the tips. Use a cutaway stabiliser on fleece or jersey and you wont have any trouble with the lettering pulling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHad a lady in Vermont run this on twelve egg-carton aprons last fall for her farm stand. A woman at a local farmer's market last spring was selling her fresh eggs in linen aprons and grabbed this design for the whole batch. Looked proper. At 5 inches wide it lands perfectly on a standard apron bib without crowding the edges, and the tatami fill plays really well against woven cotton twill. Stitch it on a market tote and people will actually grab it every week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoop your fabric square and centre the design on the chest pocket area for shirts, or go lower on a sweatshirt so the letters clear the collar seam. Run the green sprays first so the underlay is set before the main bird goes down. Skip the topping on stable wovens but do use a water-soluble topping on terry cloth towels so the bobbin loops dont disappear into the pile. The navy lettering really pops on cream or natural cotton, worth trying before you default to white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComes in five sizes from 3.5 inches wide up to 7.5 inches, so you can scale it from a onesie chest to a full jacket back panel without losing the crisp edge on the lettering. Pick your stabiliser based on the base fabric and the rest kinda takes care of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive me a shout if the tie-offs come loose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432115785878,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChickenWhispererEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782365499","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/chicken-whisperer","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
