{"product_id":"grim-reaper-skeleton","title":"Grim Reaper Skeleton Embroidery Design, Halloween Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne colour. One size. Ten thousand, three hundred and twenty-three stitches at density 194. The grim reaper silhouette is about as classic as halloween gets, and this version leans into that old woodcut quality that makes it more interesting than a plain filled shape, the robe folds use directional satin fills that create real visual depth without needing a second colour. Its 2.36 inches wide and 3.49 tall, which is that sweet spot between left chest and sleeve placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity 194 is moderate-high for a single-colour piece, and it works well here because the fine robe lines need the thread to lay close together or gaps show up in the fold areas. I digitised this in Wilcom with a running stitch underlay on the robe body to anchor the top satin before it goes down. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser on t-shirts and knit fabrics, a bunch of people try tear-away on single-colour designs thinking its simpler, but the high density makes the stabiliser work harder here, dont skip it. Hoop snugly or the tall narrow figure tends to tilt a few degrees over such a long stitch run. Stitch a test swatch first if youre unsure about your hooping tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages every october from people who've found this one works year after year on dark-coloured garments, black, deep navy, charcoal, where the single cream or white thread hits hard without any other colour needed. A lot of people use it on halloween party shirts, hooded sweatshirt chest pieces, and the front of trick-or-treat bags. Stitch it in silver or metallic thread on black felt for a really striking patch. Run it in dark grey on a lighter fabric if you want something more subtle for fall rather than full halloween. Wash dark garments with the design inside-out to prevent metallic thread from snagging on other items in the drum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412959154326,"sku":null,"price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GrimReaperSkeletonEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780573051","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/grim-reaper-skeleton","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
