I digitised it in Wilcom with the colour sequence going from the largest body fill zones down to the smallest accent details, which is the standard approach but on 13 colours you really really need to label your bobbins before you start or youre gonna lose track halfway through. The comb and wattle reds are a lil tricky because theyre adjacent to the face yellow and the outline between them needs to be tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes from from a 3.5 to a 7.5 inches wide. Stitch range from 1,007 at the smallest to 45,740 running the 7.5 inch. Density 126 means its a solid stitch-out, plan for a longer run time on the larger sizes. Cutaway stabiliser on knit fabrics, tearaway on woven cotton or canvas. I dont usually recommend topping for cartoon designs on smooth fabrics but on any pique or textured knit a light water-soluble topping helps the colour blocks stay crisp. Use it on kids items especially, the topping washes away clean and leaves the design looking fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had a customer order this last february who runs a small chicken-themed homestead goods stall at a weekend market. She was doing the 4-inch size on linen tea towels and cotton aprons, all in the full 13-colour version, and she said customers were stopping just to look at them before she even mentioned theyre embroidered. Run the body fill first, the wing and tail accents second, and leave the comb, wattle, and eye details for last. Those small red and accent pieces stitch faster if they go last when the stabiliser is still held firm by all the previous stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair this with a cream or pale sage background fabric and the 13 colours really pop, on white cotton it looks particularly sharp and clean. A light colour background lets every one of those 13 colours come through without any muddying.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46352321970326,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FunandColorfulChickenEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776659525","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/fun-colorful-chicken-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
