{"product_id":"christmas-owl","title":"Christmas Owl Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eMocked up this owl design as a full cartoon character, its a round little thing with big dark blue eyes staring straight out, wrapped from neck to base in a proper tangle of christmas lights. Not neatly draped, actually tangled, which is what makes it funny. The lights come in six colours, orange, purple, dark red, light blue, green, and white, and the cord is a winding green string that loops around the whole body. Crimson santa hat sits at the top with a grey pom-pom trim and the feathers are stitched in matte black with directional density that gives the body some roundness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 colours total, 11 colour changes. That means 12 thread stops in the full sequence. digitising tools took the feather body sequencing, building it as overlapping satin blocks, each one directional so the whole bird reads as three-dimensional rather than flat fill. The density is 1,053 density which means is on the higher side, this is gonna be a firm piece once its down. You'll need a heavy cutaway stabiliser underneath, not a tearaway. The 3-inch minimum size is workable but the feather detail is much better at 4 inches and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer send me a photo of the 4-in face on a white pique onesie, the colours popped really well against the white ground and the density held through the ribbing of the pique without any puckering. She said she had to use a double layer of cutaway because the pique is spongy, which I actually think is good advice for anyone hooping knit fabric with this design. The santa hat is mostly satin column fill so the red thread is gonna be bright and opaque even on coloured grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with a lightweight iron-on topping film if youre putting this on anything with pile or texture, fleece, velour, sherpa. Topping peels away cleanly after stitching and keeps those tiny light bulb shapes from sinking. Add it to a navy onesie or a charcoal grey sweatshirt if you want christmas, I like the way the colour palette hits against dark ground fabric better than white personally. Use a double layer of cutaway on spongy fabrics like pique knit, the fill holds through without puckering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46231929323670,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChristmasOwlEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1770696052","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-owl","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
