{"product_id":"dandelion-musical-notes","title":"Dandelion with Musical Notes Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSketched out a dandelion with musical notes, kinda magical. The dandelion seed head sits centre with the slim stalk dropping down. Half the seeds still cling to the puff, half drift off and turn into music notes mid-flight. A curving sheet-music ribbon snakes around the lower half like a treble clef trail and the notes ride along it. Single black thread, no colour changes, just one continuous run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach seed strand is a hairline single-pass run stitch, properly delicate so it reads like a sketch rather than a heavy filled shape. Note heads are small filled satin ovals, stems are slim run stitches, beams are short satin bars. The ribbon has 5 parallel run stitches stacked in true musical-staff layout where it widens and a single line where it narrows back into a swirl. Stem is a slim tatami strip with a centre vein. Honestly its the kind of design that looks impressive but stitches out like a simple monogram.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI drew this one for music teachers, choir folks and anyone who likes a soft whimsical motif. The 2.69 by 3.5 inch version handles a sleeve cuff and the 5.76 by 7.5 fits a tote panel without losing the fineline detail. One customer ordered the 5-inch last spring for her daughters high school choir tote bags and added each kids initial below the staff line. She said the bags became a memento of senior year for the whole choir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best results pick a smooth woven cotton, cream linen, pale grey jersey or oatmeal canvas. White, butter cream and dusty pink backgrounds let the black line work pop without competition. Skip dark navy or black, the whole design will dissapear into the fabric since theres only one thread colour. Avoid heavy fleece or terry, the hairline seed strands sink into deep pile and lose the drift effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity is light at 427 SPI and tops out at 18k stitches max so its quick on the machine for a fineline piece. Run a light tearaway stabiliser since the design is mostly thin runs not heavy fills, hoop firmly with no slack, and slow your machine down a touch on the swirly ribbon section so the notes land cleanly on top. Send a quick note if the seed scatter skews or the ribbon jumps off-grid and ill resequence the file proper, no charge. Im usually quick on replies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45772471042198,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/DandelionwithMusicalNotesMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1761641019","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/dandelion-musical-notes","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
