{"product_id":"elegant-butterfly","title":"Elegant Butterfly Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eVintage botanical butterfly with detailed wing veining, made back in march when a few customers kept pinging me asking for something thats delicate without being fussy. Its a wide-winged butterfly, upper wings a bit longer and rounded, lower wings shorter and cupped, the whole silhouette sits perfectly symmetrical when its hooped right. The wing fills are a dusty mauve tone with fine directional stitching that runs from the body outward, so the veins catch light at different angles and you get actual texture, not just flat colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly 3 colours in total, mauve for the wing panels, ivory for the inner wing highlights, and charcoal black for the body and the vein outlines. Theres alot you can do with 3 colours on different base fabrics because the palette is neutral enough to shift mood completely. Put it on pale blue linen and its beach-house soft. Stitch it on black velvet and its genuinely dramatic. The density runs around 831 stitches per square inch, on the heavier side, so it sits well on light cotton or quilting fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 sizes go from 2.34 inches wide at the small end up to 5.01 at the large, stitch counts 15,102 to 31,259. My niece wanted a butterfly on her cot quilt and I used the 2.34-inch size on white cotton muslin with a tear-away stabiliser underneath. Pulled out perfectly, no puckering at all. The fine satin columns on the vein lines need a topping layer when youre on terry or any loopy fabric so the thread doesnt sink in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a light cutaway stabiliser for garments that get washed regularly, the wing satin sections are dense enough to hold shape but the stabiliser keeps everything flat through tumble drying. Avoid dark navy as the base if you want the ivory highlight panels to show. Cream, white, pale grey, blush pink and soft sage all work well with this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePing me if you need a colour substitution guide, Im happy to suggest thread codes that match the original. 8 standard machine formats packed in so you wont be stuck converting files.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45842073223318,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ElegantButterflyMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763206943","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/elegant-butterfly","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
