{"product_id":"christmas-gnome-duo","title":"Christmas Gnome Duo Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eMocked up this pair after Ive had alot of customers asking for a gnome design with two characters instead of one. Its two gnomes side by side, the taller one is abit wider at the body, both have forest green pointed hats, long cream beards hanging nearly to their feet, and tan earthy bodies with stubby arms visible at the sides. 13 colours total, density at 932, 5 sizes going from 3.5 inches wide 7.5 wide reach, stitch range from 20015 at the small end to 51797 at the full size. Thats a solid amount of thread for the big version, particularly in the beard sections which run in parallel satin columns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emy embroidery software gave me precise control over the hat underlay passes to keep the forest green sitting flat and dense. The beard columns use directional fill at a slight tilt so they look soft and fluffy rather than stiff. Add firm cutaway woven linen or natural cotton tea towel fabric, these materials have enough body that a tearaway will still shift slightly under the pull of 51797 stitches at the largest size. Dont skip the underlay on those hat sections even on the smaller sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer ordered the 5-inch file to stitch on a set of kraft tea towels she was making as christmas gifts for her whole family, she ran 6 of them and suprised everyone at christmas dinner. I get that kind of feedback alot with this type of design, the paired character makes it feel more festive than a single figure. Add a water-soluble topping on any heavily textured linen so the beard detail doesnt get swallowed by the weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch both gnomes on a wide tea towel for a kitchen christmas display. Pop the 4-inch size onto a canvas apron bib for a quick seasonal gift. Use the 7.5 reach file on a table runner centred between two place settings. Run the small 3.5-inch version on felt for a hanging ornament or gift tag. Best on natural kraft and oatmeal fabrics where the earthy tan bodies read well. Avoid very pale cream or white base fabrics since the beard colour washes out completely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46232023400598,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChristmasGnomeDuoEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1770702954","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-gnome-duo","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
