{"product_id":"floral-bat-silhouette","title":"Floral Bat Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe bat is a silhouette but theres a whole garden inside it. Wings spread wide, the outer edge is a solid black bat shape, but the interior is filled with ornate scrolling vines, curling leaf clusters and floral rosettes done in dense satin so the botanical detail reads as white negative space cutting through the black fill. The bat body at centre has its own scrollwork carved into it. Its the same technique used in Victorian paper cutting or woodblock printing, the form is recognisable from a distance and the detail rewards a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle colour, all black, zero stops. But its not a simple design. The density on this one is 660, which means the scrollwork has real weight and needs proper backing. At the largest size thats 26k stitches packed into a relatively compact footprint. The directional satin lines in the wing panels run at angles that follow the wing membrane shape, not horizontal fills, so the stitch density feels consistent even though the interior is technically negative space. my embroidery software handled this digitising beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts versatile in a way a lot of halloween designs arent. One customer who runs a gothic lifestyle brand uses it year-round on tote bags because the botanical-inside-bat concept reads as decorative art, not specifically halloween. Another customer put the full 7-in run on the back of a black denim jacket and it looked like a tattoo-style patch. The wing spread at the larger sizes is close to 5 inches wide, so it works as a centrepiece on most garments without fighting other elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack thread on light fabric gives you the full silhouette with all the floral detail visible inside. White thread on black fabric inverts it completely and the botanical scrolls glow against a dark background, which is gorgeous. Youre essentially getting 2 completely different looks from one design just by flipping the thread-fabric combo. Avoid mid-tones and busy prints, this design needs contrast to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop a midweight cutaway on woven cotton. The dense satin scrollwork can pull a lighter fabric without good backing. Tear-away works on stiff canvas or denim only. Hoop tight and use a sharp 75\/11 needle for those fine scroll edges. A water-soluble topping on velvet or fleece helps the detail come through clearly in the applique-style satin areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45912689311894,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FloralBatSilhouetteEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764582146","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/floral-bat-silhouette","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
