{"product_id":"elephant-head","title":"Elephant Head Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI digitised this elephant head last february after I kept getting requests for a solid frontal portrait design. People wanted something with presence -- not a cartoon, not a cute baby elephant, just a proper elephant head that looks real and holds up at any size. Thats what I went for here. Its done in 2 colours, grey body and ivory tusks, and the stitch density sits at 731 which keeps it from pulling the fabric without going flat and lifeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design runs 7 sizes, smallest comes in at 3.51 inches wide and largest stretches out to 6.51 inches, stitch count going from 15,829 up to 28,462 stitches depending on the size you pick. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio was used for digitising and I spent extra time on the ear fills because they're the trickiest part -- big satin areas like that can pucker badly if the underlay isnt right. Ive set up proper underlay runs so the ears hoop flat and smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest results on a medium weight cotton or canvas fabric, hooped firmly on cutaway stabiliser. And this one really does need cutaway, not tearaway -- the trunk area has dense fills that'll loosen over time on a tearaway. Use a white or grey topping on towelling or fleece so the detail doesnt sink into the pile. Skip dark navy or black base fabrics if you want the grey to read clearly. A customer wrote me last april saying she stitched this on a cream canvas tote for her wildlife themed gift shop and sold out the batch -- so totes are a solid call.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHit me up if ya run into trouble with the download or need a different size that isnt in the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46361930629270,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ElephantHeadEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777204383","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/elephant-head","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
