{"product_id":"elegant-mermaid-silhouette","title":"Elegant Mermaid Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts all in black, a single colour, and it works because the shape is doing everything. The mermaid is floating like shes mid-glide through water, body tilted horizontal, arms stretched forward, head tipped slightly up. Her hair streams out behind in these long loose lines, its not a solid mass, Wilcom digitised the hair as fine wispy strokes radiating back so the individual threads actually look like hair flowing in a current. The tail fans out wide at the bottom with the same loose linear treatment on the fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body itself sits as a solid black fill with clean crisp edges, which gives it that dramatic contrast against light fabric. Lil detail in the face, just the suggestion of a profile. One colour, 9 sizes, stitch counts from 3,497 at 2.93 inches up to 8,506 at 6.27 inches wide. Honestly one of my leaner designs to run off, great for quick custom orders or batch projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made this one last autumn for a swim school that was putting together branded swim bags and towels for their junior squad. The coach wanted something graceful and almost magical, not cartoony. She sent me photos of the finished bags and honestly the silhouette looked boutique, proper swim shop quality. Orders started coming in after that from mums doing girls birthday tees and a lil swimwear brand doing labels on their bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite fabric is where this one really pops. Try it on a pale aqua or sky blue tee and the design reads like shes actually underwater, which is kinda the whole point. Stitch the 6-inch on a white canvas tote, or pop a 4-inch on a swim bag pocket. Avoid dark fabrics here, the outline disappears and you lose the fine hair detail. A regular tearaway on woven cotton is plenty, nothing heavy needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity is low at 181 so even older machines handle this cleanly. The hairline strokes on the fins need a slow steady speed or they can skip, so drop your speed at those points. Ping me if the stitch-out looks wrong and ill fix it same day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46364378366102,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ElegantMermaidSilhouetteEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777373509","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/elegant-mermaid-silhouette","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
