{"product_id":"flamingo-embroidery","title":"Adorable Flamingo Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne customer bought this flamingo three times in different sizes -- once for a tote, once for her kids school bag, and once for a tea towel set she was giving as a birthday gift. She said it had \"charisma\" which I thought was a good way to put it. Its not a realistic flamingo at all -- its round, ridiculous, got those big spiral cartoon eyes and a full head of spiky black feathers like it stuck its beak in a socket. Thats the point. Last summer I started listing it and it hasnt slowed down since. Pop a medium cutaway under the fabric before hooping so all those layered pink fills land cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixteen colours, fifteen changes, so worth spending five minutes laying out your thread order before you start. The body shading uses 6 shades of pink and magenta which is what gives it that rounded, plush-toy look. The dark navy and black handle the eye rings and the head spikes. Orange for the beak and legs. The mint green puddle at the foot is a single small fill that only shows up at larger sizes -- at the 2.56 inch version its basically just a colour suggestion. Eight sizes from 2.56 to 5.12 wide, stitch counts 20,608 up to 51,632 -- good size range to cover everything from a shirt pocket to a bag front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a 75\/11 needle on quilting cotton or fleece. On knit fabric definitely use cutaway, the body fills are dense and will pull without proper stabilising. At the smaller sizes slow your machine down through the spiral eye sections -- theyre tight circles with a lot of needle penetration close together. The head feather spikes look best when you trim jump threads between each spike so they stand clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on kids school bags, tropical-theme tote bags, summer tees, beach towels, and novelty kitchen aprons. Its also done well for people making gifts for flamingo-obsessed friends -- theres a lot of them apparently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46341420155030,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AdorableFlamingoEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776236017","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/flamingo-embroidery","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
