{"product_id":"elegant-goldfish","title":"Elegant Goldfish Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis goldfish has 3 colours of fill going on across the body and not one of them is a flat block. The scales are golden amber, the fins and tail flow out in warm cream with dark brown directional lines running through em like brushstrokes, the kind of thing you see on vintage aquarium prints or koi pottery. Real Japanese woodblock illustration energy, the kind you find on vintage koi prints. Two bright green aquatic plant sprigs frame the fish on each side, curling and leafy, which grounds the whole composition without making it fussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlot of stitch work in this one. Biggest size hits 57,630 stitches at 7.51 inches wide and 6.39 inches tall. Smallest is still a substantial 4.51 by 3.84 inches with 33,604 stitches. Only 4 sizes but the density sits at 1,201 per cm sq. Wilcom ran the fin and tail sections with fine directional stitching so those flowing lines actually look like flowing lines and not just a fill. Dont rush it, let your machine do its thing at medium to slow speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI started getting messages from koi fish enthusiasts and aquarium gift shop owners asking about this one last autumn. One customer was making custom table runners for an Asian fusion restaurant in sydney and wanted something that read as quality from across a room. She used the 7.5-inch on a deep burgundy linen runner and said it was better than she expected. Thats the kind of feedback I digitise for honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on dark fabric to let the cream and amber really stand out. Burgundy, navy, charcoal, black linen, black cotton twill all work beautifully. Dont use pale or white backgrounds because the cream fins almost disappear. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser, the dense directional stitching on the tail pulls fabric if you go tearaway. Hoop taut and run slow on the fin sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop it on a table runner, cushion cover, tote bag front, or a denim jacket back panel. Its wide enough to carry as a centrepiece and refined enough for home decor aswell as apparel. Skip stretch fabric entirely at this stitch count.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46295681466518,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ElegantGoldfishEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1773653276","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/elegant-goldfish","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
