{"product_id":"dancing-christmas-gnome-snowflakes","title":"Dancing Christmas Gnome with Snowflakes Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eDancing gnome surrounded by nine aqua snowflakes, this lil character is throwing peace signs with both hands and his pointy striped hat is curled forward like hes mid-spin. Tall navy and aqua striped winter hat, fluffy grey and white beard taking up most of his face, peach skin hands sticking out with two-finger peace signs, chunky black boots with grey laces planted in a dance stance. Snowflakes scatter around him in that bright aqua tone, makes the whole thing read instantly as christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 colours total, so the thread swaps add up but the result is worth it. Navy blue for the hat shadow, aqua across hat stripes and snowflakes, grey for the beard shading, peach skin tone, white beard highlight, powder blue trim, plus 3 darker accent colours for outlines and boot details. Stitches run 26,714 on the smallest 3.51 by 3.28 inch up to 58,208 on the largest 7.51 inch version. Density sits at 1104 which is heavy fill so cutaway stabiliser is mandatory, dont skip it on stretch fabric. Youll definitely want a heavy backing under jersey or knits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer ordered the largest size last christmas for a batch of nine kids christmas hoodies in heather grey fleece. She messaged me after, told me the snowflakes around the gnome stitched out without a single thread break across the whole nine-shirt run. The 4 inch size also fits nice on a beanie band or stocking cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on sweatshirt fleece, denim, canvas, or felt where the heavy fill can sit clean. Use heavy cutaway stabiliser, the 9 colours mean alot of stops and your fabric needs to stay registered. Skip thin jersey or chiffon, the density will distort em. Pop water-soluble topping above fleece pile so the snowflake outlines dont sink. Run polyester thread for the aqua because the blue tones really need to stay bright through machine washing. Hoop firmly with the design centred, the dancing pose is asymmetric so check your alignment before you start. Use a sharp 75\/11 needle, dull ones will skip on the high stitch count.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46259444383894,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/DancingChristmasGnomewithSnowflakesEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771747556","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/dancing-christmas-gnome-snowflakes","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
