{"product_id":"gnome-dandelion","title":"Gnome with Dandelion Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gnome is nearly all beard, which is kind of the whole point. That long grey cascade takes up the bottom third of the design and the hat sits on top like a tall pale cone. His mouth is puffed out mid-blow and the dandelion stem comes up in his hand at a slight angle, with the seeds scattering off to the right in those fine single-strand wisps. Eight colours in the file, which sounds like alot for a gnome, but the palette is soft and none of them compete. Grey beard, cream hat, rosy cheeks, sage green stem, butter yellow seeds, and then three background fills that just add body to the shape without drawing attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilcom EmbroideryStudio mapped the dandelion seeds cleanly, each wisp is a separate short satin column running at a slightly different angle so they dont all point the same direction. Thats the kind of sequencing thats separates a file that embroiders like a photo from one that looks like clip art. Density at 926, which is medium-heavy, the gnome body and beard fill are well covered without going stiff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer wanted this last month on a kraft-coloured pillow cover and it took abit of coaxing to get the underlay right on that texture, but once we sorted the topping it came out clean. Thats the thing with any textured surface, youll need water-soluble film on top or the wispy dandelion strands disappear into the weave. Use cutaway stabiliser underneath, not tear-away, the stitch count at 49,563 in the large size makes tear-away too fragile to hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick the 5-inch file for a centre motif on a spring tea towel or a hand towel. Run the 7-inch on a pillow front with a plain border stitched around it in a matching thread. Add a split bobbin tension test before the main stitch if youre working on any loose-weave fabric, just to make sure the underlay locks before the top fill comes down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes from 3.33 up to 7.14 inches wide. Stitch counts from 19,124 to 49,563. Eight colour changes total per run. Dont skip the underlay pass on the beard fill, its the only thing stopping the long grey satin from sinking into the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46337634730134,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GnomewithDandelionEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1775973296","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/gnome-dandelion","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
