The tatami fill on the grey body has this almost watercolour softness to it, but then you've got those thick satin outlines running around every edge and it pulls the whole thing back to bold. Thats the tension that makes it work, honestly. I wasnt sure the floral clusters would read at a smaller size but they do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flowers on each side are symmetrical, and each cluster has three blooms in different colours: golden yellow at the top, hot pink centre flowers with an orange eye, and cornflower blue smaller daisy-type ones tucked in. Bold black outlines separate every colour zone cleanly. The grey on the elephant is directional satin on the tusks and trunk wrinkles, with tatami doing the heavy lifting on the ear panels and forehead. Stitch density sits around 1541 stitches per square inch, so its full coverage, not airy or lightweight at all. Getting the underlay right under those pink petals so they dont sink into the green leaves took alot of back and forth in the digitising stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer of mine messaged me last week after stitching the 5 inch version on the back of a dark denim jacket, and she said the grey reads almost silver against the fabric. Really made my day. Hoop your canvas flat with a cutaway stabiliser underneath and use a topping sheet if its a woven texture, the topping stops the tatami rows from sinking into the weave. For anything lighter coloured like ivory linen or natural canvas, the charcoal outlines do all the contrast work without needing a dark background behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkip the tearaway on this design, its too dense for that. Cutaway is the right call across the board. Center it carefully as the ears extend wide, so give yourself a couple extra centimetres on each side when you hoop. Try placing the 3.5 inch on a fleece zip-up or a hoodie chest, the bold graphic reads really well on softer ground fabric. Iron your stabiliser to the back before hooping if youre worried about shifting, especially on jersey or terry cloth where the fabric itself can pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend me a quick note if the base layer peeks through up top.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432318816406,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FloralElephantEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782379823","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/floral-elephant","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
