{"product_id":"colorful-floral-afro-turban-silhouette","title":"Colorful Floral Afro Turban Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe turban on this one is basically a floral painting packed into a silhouette shape. The woman's face and neck are a clean black fill in profile, and then above that is this wide flat-topped afro turban absolutely covered in swirling botanicals. Theres lotus-style blooms, curling leaf tendrils, small circular buds and flowing scroll shapes all locked together across the surface. Eight colours total: aqua, purple, hot pink, burnt orange, scarlet red, bright yellow, white highlights, and the black outline work that holds it together. The scale of pattern on the turban compared to the plain black silhouette below is the whole visual tension of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a dense one, 8 colour stops and up to 61k stitches at the full 8-inch size. The smallest 3-inch version sits at around 20k, which is still higher density than you'd expect for that footprint. my standard software digitised the floral fills with 158 trims at the 3-inch size alone, cos each flower element needs to be tied off cleanly before the next colour section begins. You need a proper cutaway stabiliser, hooped firm, and I'd recommend slowing the machine down slightly for the internal detail runs especially at the smaller sizes where the florals get very compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer came to me in january wanting something for a black history month range, specifically for tote bags going out to community members. She ordered the 5 inch piece on cream canvas and she told me the floral colours just exploded against the plain ground, her words not mine. I can believe it, the colour combination on that turban is genuinely loud in the best way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCream or off-white cotton canvas is where this design lives. Skip dark fabric because the black silhouette merges into the ground and the whole point of the contrast is lost. For garments, stick to the 4-inch or 5-inch on tee or hoodie chests, the 6-inch and above suit bags, cushion covers or jacket backs where theres enough fabric weight to support that stitch count.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoop your stabiliser and fabric as one unit. Dont attempt to float the fabric for this one. At the 5-inch and up you need the tension fully controlled, the dense floral fills can drag the fabric if theres any slack. Run a test swatch at your chosen size before committing to a finished garment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46206712905878,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ColorfulFloralAfroTurbanSilhouetteEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1769242048","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/colorful-floral-afro-turban-silhouette","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
