{"product_id":"elegant-floral-mermaid-tail-line","title":"Elegant Floral Mermaid Tail Line Art Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres what this mermaid tail looks like. The fluke flicks up to the left in a flowing curve, the body scales down into a tight diamond-pattern fishtail, and where the tail base would meet the swimmer the design transitions into a cluster of botanical flowers and curling leaves. Around the composition theres tiny floating dots and small sphere accents like bubbles or pearls drifting through the water. The whole thing runs in aqua thread, no fill, just clean running-stitch outline work the whole way through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle aqua colour, one thread, one continuous run. The white in the colour list is a placeholder, you wont actually use it. 5 sizes from 3.51 inch up to 7.51 inch. Stitch counts run 12,473 at the smallest to 26,402 at the largest, so this is a meaty piece even at line-art density. Density at 476 doesnt apply the usual way here since its mostly running stitch, but the floral clusters and the scaled body fill have a kinda just denser pass than the outline work. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. I kept the underlay light because line-art reads cleanest when it isnt fighting heavy support stitches underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer ordered the 5-inch version in august for a beach house cushion set, she stitched it on white linen with mesh wash topping. She told me the aqua thread looked really really pretty in natural sunlight, the kinda subtle that grows on you over weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on white, cream, sand, sage, or pale blue cotton or linen, fabrics with light open weave actually suit line art well. Skip stretchy jersey unless youre using mesh wash, the outlines shift on knit fabric during stitching. Avoid dark fabric, the aqua just wont read clean against navy or black. Use light tearaway and water-soluble topping on linen with open weave to prevent skipped stitches. Hoop firmly but dont stretch the fabric, line work needs even tension to track straight through long curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHonestly the bigger sizes look the best, 6 to 7 inches is the sweet spot for the floral detail to register properly. The smallest 3.5-inch loses some of the lil bubble dots so size up if you can.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46054711853206,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ElegantFloralMermaidTailLineArtEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1766893819","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/elegant-floral-mermaid-tail-line","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
