{"product_id":"dad-fixes-everything","title":"Dad Fixes Everything Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres the dad fixes everything design and its got proper hardware shop energy across nine sizes. The wording sits up top in three stacked rows. Dad in chunky serif slab caps, then Fixes in a smaller rope-bordered banner with hyphen marks each side, then Everything in another bold slab line below. Reads like an old garage signboard on cream canvas, real fathers day gift territory. Underneath the words sits a battered metal toolbox, drawn in a vintage woodcut etching style with proper crosshatch shading on the body and the lid catch. A red handled hammer head pokes up from the centre. To the left a wrench sticks out, jaws open. On the right two screwdriver handles peer over the rim. The whole tin has that scratched, well-loved look. Everything is rendered in 4 colours, charcoal grey body fill, crimson red on the hammer and the rope-banner detail, off-black outlines, cream highlights catching the rim of the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast june around father's day weekend an HVAC tech in colorado wrote me asking for the design on heavy duck workshop aprons, and that single conversation led me to lean into the etched look, kinda like an old sears tool catalogue page. Customers been ordering it nonstop ever since. Realising too that mums grab it for handyman partners aswell. Not just dads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on heather grey, oatmeal cotton, or natural canvas for that retro hardware feel. This reads best on lighter neutrals over pastels, the design needs a stable mid-tone to let the crosshatch shading show. Charcoal tee works great, sage green canvas reads well too. Set the 7.5 inch wide size on a workshop apron and Run the 4-inch on a zip pouch or beer coozie. Run a cutaway stabiliser, the toolbox fills are dense at 48k stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensest section is the toolbox shell plus the etched shading on the hammer head. Switch to a 75\/11 sharp on woven cotton, swap to a 80\/12 ballpoint if youre digitising for stretchy fleece zip-ups. Drop the speed during the centre running stitch on the crosshatch detail so the lines stay sharp, ya dont want them blurring into one grey blob. Ping me on the chat box if your stitches look loose, ill re-density it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45769743925398,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/DadFixesEverythingMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1761535708","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/dad-fixes-everything","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
