I wear a version of this on a black sweatshirt every year around halloween and I get asked about it without fail. Its 13,783 stitches in 5 colours digitised in my professional tool at 3.5 x 2.53 inches, the text fills are dense at 241, which is what makes the lettering look thick and chunky rather than thin and scratchy the way underdone text designs go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch this on a firm cutaway stabiliser. Im serious about that, at density 241 on text, if your stabiliser has any give the letters will pucker along the satin column edges and the whole thing reads wobbly instead of bold. Use a topping on fleece or french terry. The 'Dead Inside' lettering has a rough cracked fill in the spooky serif portion, and that texture only reads correctly when the underlay is laid right and the topping keeps the top stitches from sinking. Run a slow first pass on the text to check registration before the machine goes full speed on the fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had a customer text me last october saying she stitched this on twelve matching aprons for a halloween baking event at her bakery, the staff wore them all shift. She said customers kept stopping to take photos of the staff instead of the cakes, which I thought was pretty funny. It works year round on coffee-lover stuff too, the spooky text reads halloween in october and just 'relatable' the rest of the year if you pick a plain black sweatshirt or apron.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoid light-coloured fabrics for this one, the 5-colour palette was built around dark bases and the design gets lost on white or cream. Text if anything looks off with the file and Ill have a look right away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412899025046,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/DeadInsideButCaffeinatedMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780565077","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/dead-inside-but-caffeinated","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
