{"product_id":"ghost-roses","title":"Cute Ghost with Roses Embroidery Design, Halloween Machine Embroidery, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis came out of a batch I was doing last october when I kept thinking about how ghosts and roses is such an alright combination, spooky meets romantic, which is kinda the whole aesthetic for a lot of halloween home decor right now. Nine colours and 19,051 stitches at density 288. Its my highest-density halloween piece in this collection, which makes sense, the roses are fully rendered with satin petals, sepals, and leaf fills, not simplified shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigitising roses at this scale is a challenge because each petal needs a directional satin fill that curves with the petal shape, and at 2.92 inches wide youve got maybe 9 stitches across a small petal, enough to see detail but not enough to be sloppy. I digitised this in Wilcom and spent probably the most time of any design in this series on underlay planning for the white figure, its a large solid fill area that needs a proper running stitch underlay or it floats and gaps at the edges. Stitch the white fill sections at medium-slow speed. Pop a water-soluble topping on fleece before you start. Use cutaway on everything for this one, at density 288 you dont want any give in the backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI recieved a message from a customer last week who used this on a halloween sweatshirt for herself and said the floral details came out alright even on medium-weight fleece, she used cutaway stabiliser and topping, which is exactly right. Dont skip the topping on loopy fabrics, it really is the difference between crisp petals and blurred fills at this density. A 75\/11 needle handles the stitch count without thread breakage on standard 40-weight embroidery thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight grey, cream, white, or dusty pink ground fabrics show the nine colours at their best. The figure's white fill reads poorly on pure white fabric, you lose the shading details, so a soft grey or cream base is actually better for full visual depth. Its worth stitching a test on scrap at least once before committing to a final garment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412792529046,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteGhostwithRosesEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780553435","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/ghost-roses","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
