{"product_id":"gnome-sewing","title":"Gnome with Sewing Machine Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eRight so my gnome with sewing machine is for the craft room crowd, 14 colours and proper quilter humour. Hes a tall skinny lad standing front on with a really really tall floppy cap layered with red and faded rose stripes that bends right over at the top, the white whiskers tumble down past his middle. Pink button nose pokes out and most of his face stays hidden behind all that fluff. Both lil mitts grip a vintage black hand-crank sewing machine clamped to his middle, balance wheel pokes out on his right and theres an orange treadle plate underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite whiskers stitch in a soft tonal blend, pure white with grey shadow tucked down the sides so it reads dimensional rather than flat. Hat bands run as clean satin columns swapping crimson and dusty pink in turn, the brim drops a deeper red so it pushes forward of the cap. Machine itself is the proper showpiece. Ive customised fine black outlines on the body shape, a silver satin wheel sat to one side and a warm orange foot plate underneath so the whole little contraption reads three-dimensional even when shrunk down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI digitised this one for sewing room decor lovers, quilt shop merch makers, haberdashery apron sellers and quilters who like a chuckle on their notion bag. Small 3.51 by 2.05 footprint runs 13,696 stitches and the largest 7.51 by 4.37 reaches 36,228, so he sits clean on a pincushion top or right across the front of a craft tote. One customer grabbed six of em last november for her quilt guild secret santa exchange, popping each onto a cream cotton drawstring sack stuffed with seam rippers and Aurifil bobbins. Reckoned the bags were the hit of the night before anyone even peeked inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLean on natural pale cloth for the cleanest finish. Buttermilk poplin, washed muslin, soft cream linen, light canvas and pale chambray all let the crimson hat bands and the pale beard really breathe. Stay off solid red yardage, the deep front panel of the cap wont separate from the ground colour at all. Heavy fleece is a no too, the precise machine outlines press down into the pile and that silver balance wheel turns into a single dark blob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity sits at 1104 spi with 36k on the largest, so its a proper but not punishing stitch-out. Run medium tearaway under any woven base or swap to a light cutaway if youre customising onto stretchier jersey knit. Keep the hoop tension nice and proper tight so the long downward whisker fill cant drag the surface inwards. Slow the carriage right back during the dense black machine pass, that single colour run alone burns 7k stitches in 1 go. Send me a quick listing chat note when a needle break ruins the wheel pass and Ill walk you through which colour row is safest to reload from.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836356780182,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GnomewithSewingMachineMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1762935263","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/gnome-sewing","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
