{"product_id":"fantasy-dragon","title":"Fantasy Dragon Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSingle colour doesnt mean simple -- this fantasy dragon has 13,869 stitches at the smallest size and climbs to 29,711 at the largest, and most of that stitch count is directional satin work that gives the body, wings and scales their shape. With one colour all the visual interest comes from changing the stitch direction across different sections: the body scales run at a different angle to the wing membranes, the tail uses a long directional fill that tapers as it curves, and the face details are tight fill areas digitised carefully in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. Its actually harder to make a single-colour design look interesting than a five-colour one, and I spent extra time on this one getting the stitch angle work right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes from 2.68 inches wide up to 5.74 inches wide and 7.51 inches tall -- thats a really useful size range for this kind of whimsical cartoon design. The smaller sizes are great for patches, caps and pouch fronts, the larger sizes fill a jacket chest or back beautifully. Density is 689, comfortable for most fabrics without pulling. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser on knit fabrics and a tearaway on woven cotton or canvas. The wing section has fairly dense fills on the membrane area so a topping film helps on any textured base fabric. Pop a water-soluble topping sheet over fleece or terry before you hoop and the fills will sit clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne colour means it can go on literally anything -- you pick the thread colour and the fabric, and the design adapts. Ive seen it stitched in forest green on cream linen for a fantasy-themed gift shop, in metallic gold thread on black velvet for a cosplay jacket, and in red on white for a kawaii anime fan tee. My niece wanted it in purple on a grey hoodie and it looked great. Stitch on smooth stable fabrics for the cleanest line detail, avoid stretchy fabrics unless you back with cutaway, and pick a contrasting thread colour so the satin sections really show up against the base.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46362807795862,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FantasyDragonMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777290244","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/fantasy-dragon","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
