The body of the rooster isnt filled with satin feathers at all. Its built from vines and leaves and pink daisy-like blooms layered into a silhouette shape, with directional tatami fill on each petal and satin on the stems keeping everything crisp and separate. The red comb and wattle are done in dense satin with a tiny black eye, and the feet are solid black giving the whole thing a grounded folk-art look. Six colours in total including a magenta flower centre, kelly green vines, blush pink petals, and yellow star-shaped accent blooms scattered through the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI been working on farmhouse designs for a while and last spring a woman who makes kitchen items for local craft markets ordered two colourways and told me she stitches the rooster on linen dish towels in the 5 inch size and they sell out every market. The 3.49 inch fits neatly on a pocket or a bread bag, and for a real statement piece the full 7.5 inch on a canvas apron or a quilted table runner is hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeeds a cutaway stabiliser on stretchy tees but worth it for the complexity here. On woven fabrics like cotton twill or linen its more forgiving. Topping helps on terry cloth or fleece because the vine stems are narrow and can sink into looped fabric without it. Use medium-weight cutaway for knit or jersey pieces, and tear-away works fine on tightly woven cotton or denim. Hoop it centered and pick a sharp needle, 75\/11 or 80\/12, because the underlay on those petal shapes is tight and a dull needle drags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop it on a cream or navy linen kitchen apron and the colours really come alive against a light ground. On dark fabric add a topping and it still reads well because the red and green have enough contrast. Try a white quilted pot holder for a small quick project. Iron the fabric flat before you hoop and all those narrow stem channels stitch out clean every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend me a quick note if the base layer peeks through up top.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432123748502,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ElegantFloralRoosterEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782366874","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/elegant-floral-rooster","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
