{"product_id":"floral-bee","title":"Floral Bee Embroidery Design, Bee Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSketched this one after spending a long November staring at vintage botanical prints. The bee body is solid and structured, chunky satin stripes across the abdomen the way youd see on an old scientific illustration, small fuzzy head and two curling antennae. But the wings are something else entirely. Each wing carries dozens of tiny five-petal flowers packed so tightly inside the border that they start looking like lace. The flower centres are tiny satin dots, the petals are outline-only runs, and the gaps between them let the fabric show through as negative space. So on a dark background the wings genuinely glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts all one colour which sounds limiting but honestly works better than having to match threads. The contrast between the heavy solid body fills and the open-outline wing flowers is what makes it interesting. Density rides 760 per square inch, stitch count runs from 19,748 on the smallest to 29,603 on the biggest. So this stitches out slowly and you want to treat it right, dont rush those open fills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer ordered the 4.58-inch version last march for a denim jacket back panel and sent a photo with the wings against a faded blue ground. The negative space on the wings read as pale blue through the dark outline flowers, which wasnt planned but looked stunning. Four sizes run from 2.97 by 5.51 inches up to 4.58 by 8.51 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoop on a medium to firm cutaway stabiliser. Float a water-soluble topping sheet over the wing sections if youre going onto any textured fabric, the flower outlines are fine runs that need to sit on the surface, not sink into weave. Use a 75\/11 sharp needle so the dense body fills go down clean. Slow your machine speed on the abdomen stripes, thats where most of the satin mass lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry this on the back of a denim or canvas jacket, a tote bag front panel, or a large embroidery hoop framed as wall art. Avoid anything with heavy pile. Skip sheer fabrics too, the cutaway stabiliser will show through behind the wing openings and ruin the lace effect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058712432790,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FloralBeeEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1767163064","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/floral-bee","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
