{"product_id":"grow-grace-bee","title":"Grow in Grace Bee Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a bumble bee sitting right next to a wildflower spray, with the words \"Grow in Grace\" in a big looping script underneath and the scripture reference 2 Peter 3:18 in bold print below that. The bee carries golden yellow and black satin stripes across its body, with those fine grey net-line wings that take real skill to get right at smaller sizes. Behind it theres an orange sunflower with a brown tatami-filled centre dotted yellow, a white daisy with an orange middle, a soft pink five-petal flower, and a purple aster. All coming off one curving green stem with oval leaves. The whole thing is dense. At the full 7 inch it runs 36,332 stitches, so this is a project you plan for, not a last-minute toss-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd that stitch count is what makes the bee look so good in real life. The underlay work under all those satin petals stops them sinking into the fabric, and I used directional stitching on the wings so they catch the light differently from the body. Pro digitising tools did the heavy lifting on the script section, getting the letterforms smooth without jump stitches showing through. But the payoff is worth it. A quilter I know stitched the 5 inch on a linen tea towel last week and sent me a photo, the bee just glows on natural fabric. Stitch this on mid-weight cotton or linen and youll get results closest to the preview. Avoid jersey and any knit without a cutaway stabiliser, the bee body especially will pucker if it isnt held down firmly on stretchy cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop it centered on a tote bag where the full colour range can show. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton but if you go to fleece or terry switch to cutaway because the density demands it. Hoop drum tight, especially for the lettering below the flowers, if you get movement there your script gets wobbly and the satin edges will lift at the bobbin side. The 3.38 inch fits cleanly on a pocket or bib without crowding anything. Pick the 7 inch for a pillow cover where all eight colours earn their place across the full fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessage me a photo if any satin areas pull thin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46429234430102,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GrowinGraceBeeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782109498","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/grow-grace-bee","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
