{"product_id":"christmas-bow-holly-leaves-2","title":"Christmas Bow with Holly Leaves Embroidery Design, Festive Holiday Bow Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a dense design, 877 stitches per square inch, which is high but thats why the finished result looks substantial rather than flat. The ribbon bow is stitched in directional satin columns that follow the ribbon folds, and the holly leaves behind it have fine midrib lines running through them that give the leaves a bit of depth. Red berry clusters sit where the leaves meet. Five colours all together, two greens for light and shadow on the leaves, red for the berries, and the bow ribbon uses the remaining two colours for its own light and dark areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes from 3.19 by 3.51 inch up to 6.83 by 7.51 inch. The largest is big and genuinely impressive when its stitched out, but the stitch count hits 44988 at that size which means youre looking at a 50 to 60 minute run on most home machines. At that density you absolutely need a cutaway stabiliser on anything that has any give to it at all. Even on sturdy woven denim Im cautious and use a medium-weight cutaway rather than tearaway. The bobbin tension matters more on dense satin work too, worth checking it before you run the big version. Check your thread tension on a scrap first, especially if youre using a thick thread weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIve run the 5-in size for canvas and on velvet and both looked good. Velvet needs a topping sheet over the pile or the fill sinks straight in. Use the topping sheet and everything comes out smooth. Canvas takes it easily with just a cutaway behind. Skip any fabric that stretches on the bias for the big size, the satin columns will distort if the fabric shifts mid-run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer last christmas used the largest version as the centrepiece on a handmade door hanger wreath. She stitched it on dark green wool felt backed with heavy cutaway and said it was the nicest thing she made that year. Customers have also put the smaller 3.19-inch version on napkin corners and it reads well at that scale too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSnug hooping and a quality cutaway stabiliser are the two things that matter most for this design at any size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46030942077078,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChristmasBowwithHollyLeavesMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1765796696","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-bow-holly-leaves-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
