{"product_id":"grumpy-cat","title":"Grumpy Cat Embroidery Design, Funny Pet Machine Embroidery, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdded this grumpy cat to the catalog last november and it immediately became the most-viewed animal design I have. Nine colours, density at 2,245, and the fur is digitised with directional fill that changes angle across the face so the coat texture actually looks three-dimensional once its stitched. Smallest size is 34,483 stitches at 3.48 inches wide, largest is 91,626 stitches at 7.49 inches wide. Yeah, that large one takes a while on a domestic machine, so dont start it five minutes before you need to leave the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo because of the density, stabiliser choice really matters here. Heavy-weight cutaway on the back, and I mean the proper dense stuff not a mid-weight, because the pull on the fabric during that many stitches is real. The bobbin needs to be wound at the right tension -- too loose and you get loops coming through on the satin sections, which is especially visible on the light-coloured fur areas. Run a test on a scrap of the same fabric weight before committing to your final item. Hoop on a 5x7 hoop minimum for anything over the 4 inch size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer brought in this design to a local market and she said people stopped at her table just to look at the tote because the cat face was so realistically stitched. Thats what the high density does -- at distance it looks photographic. Skip anything lightweight for this one; denim, canvas, medium-weight cotton twill, or a structured tote fabric all handle the density without distorting. Best size for a sweatshirt chest is the 5 inch version, big enough to see the grumpy expression clearly but not so large it becomes the whole shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46315765825686,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GrumpyCatEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1774678269","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/grumpy-cat","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
