{"product_id":"gingerbread-cookie-in-christmas-cup","title":"Gingerbread Cookie in Christmas Cup Embroidery Design, Holiday Mug Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI first made this one back in november a couple years ago as a test for holiday kitchen embroidery and it ended up being one of my most purchased Christmas designs three seasons running. The gingerbread man sitting on the cup rim with his legs dangling is the bit people love, its a small detail in the 3.5 inch wide composition but the Wilcom digitising gives him enough face detail to read the expression clearly. At 15621 stitches across 12 colours, the density is 233, which is on the lighter side and makes this genuinely quick to stitch without sacrificing the cup pattern detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on a white or cream cotton kitchen fabric and this looks like a printed graphic, not like it was embroidered, the satin passes on the tan biscuit tones and the red cup are clean enough to fool people at first glance. Pair woven cutaway for woven fabric like cotton twill or cotton canvas, tearaway peels off clean behind the lighter 233 density. On any stretch material like a jersey apron or a tea towel with a bit of give, swap to a cutaway because even at lower density the underlay needs anchoring to prevent the cookie arms from drifting. The steam detail at the top uses a very light satin pass, dont skip the topping on terry cloth if you decide to do a tea towel version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd it to an apron front, a reusable fabric gift bag, a Christmas pillow, or left-chest on a holiday sweatshirt. I get messages every December from people doing Christmas baking-themed hampers who put it on cotton tote bags packed with cookie ingredients, that little guy reads well running the 3.5 width on a standard tote panel. Dont use a muted brick red for the cup thread, the plaid cup pattern reads muddy if you're not using a proper Christmas red, and youll lose the whole festive feel. Avoid dark backgrounds for this one too, the warm spiced brown gets lost against anything darker than a medium tan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46395604697238,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GingerbreadCookieinChristmasCupEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1779707349","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/gingerbread-cookie-in-christmas-cup","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
