{"product_id":"christmas-eagle","title":"Christmas Eagle Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSo this one is a bald eagle wearing a Santa hat and I dont think I need to sell that any harder than that. The bird faces slightly left, chest puffed, with that classic eagle scowl that says it doesnt fully agree with whats on its head. And yet theres a red wattle dangling under the beak and a white pompom bouncing above the crown, so the whole portrait has this dead-serious-but-ridiculous energy that people absolutely love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeather work is what makes it look expensive. The chest is packed with short overlapping satin stitches in pale grey and white that actually catch light the way real feathers do. Body and wings go darker, slate into charcoal, with hard black outline strokes separating each feather group. The beak is solid gold satin, nicely tapered to a sharp point. Hat is a two-tone red with a narrow white band and a fluffy ball at the top. Six colours total, density sitting at 1,337 stitches per square inch, so use a medium to heavy stabiliser and dont rush the presser foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from 2.51 by 1.83 inches at the small end up to 7.51 by 5.48, so theres a version for a jacket pocket badge right through to a full back panel. Last December a customer stitched the large size onto a dark navy canvas tote and said people kept stopping her to ask where she got the bag. But the mid sizes work just as well on caps, flannel shirts, or a zip-up hoodie sleeve. Dark fabrics show off the chest contrast best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch count tops out at 55,036 on the largest size, so budget your thread and pick a pre-wound bobbin rather than fussing with a standard spool. Use a sharp embroidery needle, 75\/11 for the smaller versions and 90\/14 on anything above 5 inches. Felt or canvas hoops cleanly. Fleece works but the detail in the feather work softens a bit so go no bigger than the 4-inch on anything with pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood news is the file set covers all 8 formats so whatever machine you run it should be in there. Check the spec sheet in your download folder for the full stitch count table by size. Anything goes wrong, drop a message and ill take a look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46245130993814,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChristmasEagleEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771051280","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-eagle","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
