{"product_id":"christmas-gnome-wrapped-colorful-lights","title":"Christmas Gnome Wrapped in Colorful Lights Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003ePulled this together after a customer asked me for something a little more playful than the usual wreath-and-bow stuff. And honestly? Thats become one of my favourite designs to stitch. The gnome is fully wrapped in a looping string of lights, nine colours total, red, green, yellow, blue bulbs scattered all around him, and his giant white beard sits there in the middle of all that chaos like he doesnt care at all. Its kinda perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapped through my standard software with directional satin fill on the hat and underlay on the beard to keep everything lying flat. Stitch count runs from 13,433 at the 3.5-inch width up to 31,048 at the full 7.5-inch size, so its genuinely a detailed piece at any scale. Ive found it sits best on medium-weight cutaway stabiliser, especially if youre putting it on a fleece or apron. Bobbin tension matters alot here, the bulb colours are small satin shapes and they pucker if the bobbin's off even slightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 sizes from 3.5 x 2.55 inches to 7.5 x 5.47 inches. Use the bigger hoop for a jacket back or a large tote, smaller ones for a tea towel or gift bag. Pop it on a red apron and it looks like it was made for that fabric. Pair with a plain navy or charcoal background if you want the rainbow lights to really stand out against dark thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkip the tear-away on anything stretchy, cutaway holds the density at 757 much better. Run the beard thread first, then the hat, then the bulbs last so your thread changes stay logical. Holler if theres any issue with the file and Ill correct it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46019419373718,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GnomeChristmasLightsEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1765361399","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-gnome-wrapped-colorful-lights","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
