{"product_id":"ducks-family","title":"Cute Ducks Family Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eFriend asked for something for a nursery quilt and I went full storybook with this one. Theres 4 ducks walking in a row, all standing upright like they're late for something. First duck on the left is wearing a blue striped coat and a flat-brimmed hat, carrying a little wicker basket. He's clearly the dad duck. Next to him is the mum in a pink ruffle dress with a bow on her head, very proper. Third duck is the one that gets everyone, hes wearing a full red strawberry costume, big round body, green leaf cap on top, the stems stick up like little antennae. Last duck has a dusty pink bonnet tied under her chin and a matching coat, very demure at the end of the procession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 colour stops, but each duck is basically its own 2-to-3-colour zone so you thread up once and run the whole row in sequence. Density is 843 stitches per square inch, solidly medium, and the fine directional fills inside the clothing sections give each costume its own fabric texture without needing to change fills manually. Smallest size is 2.03 by 4.5 inches at around 12k stitches, biggest is 3.83 by 8.5 at just under 28k. Its a tall narrow composition so it naturally fits borders, sleeves, and cot bumper panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun the row as a border repeat or use each duck individually on separate items as a set. A customer messaged me last spring after stitching the full row on a quilt border, said the nursery looked like it was decorated by a proper illustrator. Ive had people split them up across 4 pockets on a nursery organiser, one duck per pocket. Pick a fine cotton or smooth quilting cotton, dont try this on towelling, the fine clothing fills and the tiny face details wont survive a loopy terry surface without topping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a cutaway stabiliser, hoop firmly. Float water-soluble topping on anything with a nap. Skip the topping on standard quilting cotton. The strawberry duck body has dense fills so the underlay matters, run a 45-degree fill underlay before the top satin or youll get pull on the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45827410034838,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteDucksFamilyMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1762684400","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/ducks-family","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
