{"product_id":"christmas-highland-cow-3","title":"Cute Christmas Highland Cow Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eA highland cow with that distinctive big shaggy fringe falling over its eyes, and someone has put a Santa hat on it. The hat sits slightly tilted, the brim in crisp white and the red cap in dense satin fill. Holly branches with berry clusters sit at the base of the composition. The cow coat is the technically interesting part, that whole mane and chest area uses a realy specific directional fill pattern that builds the look of actual thick fur rather than a flat coloured shape. Eleven colour stops total across warm amber brown tones, caramel muzzle, red and white for the hat, holly green and berry red, and a few neutral accent fills for the eye area and horns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity runs at 1,232 stitches per square inch in the main shaggy coat sections. This is a dense design, Im not understating that. The largest 7.5 by 7.34-inch version reaches 67,799 stitches and will run for around 45 to 50 minutes on a standard home machine. Back it with cutaway with film top, at least a medium weight, and hoop properly. That wide mane area needs everything underneath to stay still or you get registration drift in the narrow satin columns on the horns and ears. A customer who stitched this last Christmas said the textured coat came out so realistic she had to stop herself from touching the screen when she pulled the preview image up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on cotton or light canvas, the firm weave holds the dense fill without buckling. Avoid stretchy jersey for the large size since the underlay passes alone can start to distort thin knit. If youre using fleece or a soft fabric add a water-soluble topping over the shaggy body sections so the satin columns dont sink into the pile. The 3.5-inch small version is much faster at 28,076 stitches and works well on smaller items like stocking panels or hat cuffs, dont skip the cutaway just because its small though.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch the full 7-inch version across a cotton shopper or a cream cotton sweatshirt for a Christmas gift that doesnt look like a last-minute idea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46248149975190,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteChristmasHighlandCowEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771298300","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-highland-cow-3","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
