{"product_id":"farm-hen","title":"Cute Farm Hen Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003ePulled this together for kitchen and farmhouse projects, and it fills that space really well. The hen is the main body, plump and round the way farmyard hens actually look, not the skinny stylised version you see on a lot of embroidery designs. The rust thread does the feather body and Im using 3 different directional fill angles across the breast, back, and wing areas to break up what would otherwise be a flat mass of colour. The red comb and wattle are satin-stitched separately with a high density so they hold their raised texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree little chicks sit at her feet in butter yellow, and theyre small enough that the bobbin tension matters more than you'd think on those tiny bodies. Check your bobbin before you run the small sizes. 6 colour changes total, stitch count from 6,151 at the 3.5-inch up to 18,475 at the full 7.5-inch. Density is 423 so a standard medium cutaway stabiliser is fine. Use a size 75\/11 needle on the chick outlines. Add a light topping on any terry or waffle-weave fabrics to stop those small outlines from sinking into the pile. Pair a warm rust with a cream underlay thread and the whole piece looks warmer and softer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most popular use for this one is kitchen aprons, and I can see why. One customer stitched the 5-inch version onto the pocket of a kraft-coloured canvas apron last spring using rust and yellow thread and it looked straight off a country market stall. And the ground shadow at the base of the hen gives it weight so it doesnt look like its floating on the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46050127970454,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteFarmHenEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1766657501","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/farm-hen","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
