{"product_id":"flying-macaw","title":"Flying Macaw Embroidery Design, Parrot Bird Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe macaw is caught mid-flight, wings thrown wide open like its just pushed off from a branch and gone. You see the underside of the bird straight on. That chest is a warm golden yellow, the wings sweep up into cobalt blue on top and the flight feathers fan out with those long black-tipped primaries at the ends. White face patch with a small hooked black beak pointing left. Its a proper bird portrait, the kind youd see on a wildlife print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe feather stitching is what takes the time on this one. Every primary feather runs its own directional satin fill, so you actually get the ridged texture of real macaw wing feathers rather than a flat blue wash. The wing span covers the full hoop width on the bigger sizes, so at 7.49 inches across the bird realy fills a shirt back or a canvas bag front. Comes in nine sizes from 3.49 inches up, which gives a lotta range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI got a message last month from someone running a bird sanctuary gift shop. She'd been selling tote bags and wanted embroidered ones for their macaw adoption fundraiser. She grabbed the medium size for their cotton shoppers and the photos she sent back were genuinely great. The yellow and blue pop so well on natural canvas. Since then a few other bird people have come through asking for the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest fabric is plain cotton, canvas, linen or chambray. The colours sing on natural or white backgrounds. Pop it on a teal or olive base if you want the blue to sit a bit quieter. Avoid dark navy because the cobalt upper wings sorta merge into it and you lose the feather detail. Density is 452 on this one, which is actually pretty light for a bird design with this much detail. Use a medium tearaway stabiliser on stable wovens. Slow down on the long primary feather columns and dont use topping on linen as it leaves marks on the weave.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46379056234646,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FlyingMacawEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778323240","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/flying-macaw","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
