{"product_id":"colorful-crab","title":"Colorful Crab Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eA crab facing you head-on with those massive googly oval eyes that take up half the face. Deep red-pink body shell, blue claws spread wide to both sides, eight small legs tucked underneath. The expression is kinda dumb and wonderful at the same time, just a very happy confused crab who isnt sure what he walked into. Under and around him theres a loose multi-colour splatter background, big irregular patches of yellow, orange, purple, lime green and peach that look like someone went at it with watercolour and didnt care where the paint landed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFourteen colours, 13 thread changes per size. The crab itself is the main event with deep crimson and bright red for the shell, royal blue for the claws, white for the oval eye fills and highlight dots, orange and peach for the blush tones on the underbelly. The splatter background uses yellow, lime green, lilac purple, warm orange, and a brownish-tan. Near-black for the thick ink outlines that give the whole thing that comic-illustration feel. Stitch count runs from 21,800 at the smallest 2.84-inch-wide size up to 50,486 at the full 6.08-inch. Density at 1,106 is solidly in the complex range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd this one gets orders throughout summer, not just at beach season, which surprised me. One customer ordered the 4.5-inch version in early october for a halloween crab costume shirt for her kid, said it was the only crab design she found that was actually fun rather than realistic and boring. Fair enough. The googly-eye energy is pretty hard to put in a box seasonally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on white or pale cream cotton where all 14 colours show properly. Avoid dark base fabrics, the multi-colour background patches are light and those oval iris fills disappear on anything dark. Use medium cutaway, hoop snug, and dont rush the colour region fills, theyre wide irregular shapes and the machine needs to settle into each area or the fill edges blur. The 2.84-inch smallest size is fine in a 4x4 hoop and still gets all the expression across.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45834876813462,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ColorfulCrabMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1762858129","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/colorful-crab","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
