{"product_id":"elegant-butterfly-flower","title":"Elegant Butterfly and Flower Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eWorked this one up as a three-butterfly spray over flowers and it came out better than I expected for a single colour piece. The big one at centre-left is a proper swallowtail, wings done in heavy satin fills with fine vein lines running diagonally across each wing section. Body is a solid satin column, narrow at the top and wider through the abdomen. Theres 2 smaller butterflies too, one upper left and one right, both in a much lighter outline-only style with hatched fills inside the wings so they read as background without fighting the main one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour dogwood-style flowers sit between and behind the butterflies. Each bloom has 4 rounded petals done in parallel hatching lines with a small circular centre cluster. Leaf sprigs with pointed individual leaves tie the whole spray together along the lower right. The contrast between the dense satin butterfly and the lighter sketch flowers is doing a lot of work here, its the kind of layering thats genuinely hard to pull off in single-colour stitching and my standard software handles it cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes, 3.5 by 3.27 inches up to 7.5 by 6.99. Biggest is nearly square so it suits a centred chest piece or cushion panel. Stitch count sits under 17k which is reasonable for the surface area covered. A customer used the 6-inch on a black linen evening bag last month and the satin butterfly caught the light at every angle. She sent a photo and honestly it looked like a boutique piece, cant tell its machine embroidery at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick a smooth medium-weight fabric, cotton poplin, linen or firm canvas. On light fabric the single colour reads as a clean line illustration. On dark fabric those wing fills reflect light differently to the outline areas and thats where the design really earns its keep. Skip stretchy fabrics, the satin fills pull under tension and distort the wing shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace medium cutaway under and hoop properly, dont skip the hooping step or those wing panels will shift. Float a water-soluble topping on linen so the petal hatching lines sit cleanly. Run at normal speed except on the large wing satin fills where slowing down keeps thread columns even and prevents looping on the underside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46063671181462,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ElegantButterflyandFlowerMachineEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1767416516","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/elegant-butterfly-flower","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
