{"product_id":"fall-gnome-pumpkin","title":"Fall Gnome with Pumpkin Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eStout gnome with a long beard hugging an orange pumpkin, built after requests started coming in for a pumpkin gnome compact enough for small placements but detailed enough for a full cushion run. Theres alot of gnome designs around but most of them are either too cartoonish or too busy. This one is a tidy vertical stack, small round gnome body mostly hidden by a long cream beard, tiny boots at the base, deep forest green hat above, and a plump orange pumpkin cradled in the arms or resting at the front. Simple enough to read at the smallest hoop size, detailed enough to hold interest at the larger run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e16 colours sounds like a big number for a compact design but the autumn palette earns all of them. The pumpkin orange uses 3 gradient tones, bright at the crown, warming to rust at the lower ribs, to give the gourd shape a proper curved look. The beard runs in cream with a soft directional satin that catches the light differently from the coloured hat above. Wilcom held the density at 1,000 throughout which keeps the bobbin from showing through on the cream sections without stiffening the whole piece on lighter cotton fabrics. Dense underlay on the beard and pumpkin body sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy niece asked me to do this on her daughters Halloween bag last September and they came back wanting 3 more for friends. Its one of those designs where people see it on someone elses bag and immediately want one. Run this on cream or off-white cotton or canvas so all the fall colours show fully, the dark green hat disappears on dark fabric and you lose the whole composition. Hoop snug and use cutaway stabiliser on anything above 3 inches, the dense column stitching in the gourd body needs a stable base throughout the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch the 3 to 3.5 inch size on a trick-or-treat bag or kids shirt for a seasonal piece that reads clearly at arm length. Use the 4 to 5 inch run on a cushion cover, tote bag or quilted panel where the orange and cream tones have room to show. Skip stretch fabrics entirely on this one, 36k stitches on a knit blank at the 4.8-inch wide size will pull the pumpkin ribs apart. Dont use a tearaway on anything except stiff canvas, the dense fills will lift it mid-run on woven cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 sizes from 2.25 to 4.82 inches wide, 12,594 to 36,132 stitches. Message me if any file gives trouble and Ill get it sorted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45842024956054,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FallGnomewithPumpkinMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763205759","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/fall-gnome-pumpkin","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
