{"product_id":"halloween-gnome-boo-2","title":"Halloween Gnome BOO Embroidery Design, Gnome Halloween Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis halloween gnome is one of those designs where the beard does most of the personality work. Its enormous, fills the whole lower half of the design, and the tall charcoal hat above it gives the whole thing that perfect halloween gnome silhouette that people recognise immediately. Eight colours and 20,049 stitches at a 3.51 x 3.71 inch footprint, so this is a proper complex piece. The density is 239 which means every colour section is solid and the bobbin thread is doing real work, keep your bobbin topped up and do a test on your stabiliser choice before you commit to the final fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI digitised this in Wilcom and the satin border around the BOO letters is the tricky part, its at a high enough density that on anything loosely woven you'll want a cutaway stabiliser aswell as a water-soluble topping to keep the letter edges crisp. The directional fill on the beard is the bit I spent the most time on; it runs at an angle so it looks fluffy rather than flat. The hat uses a different angle, perpendicular to the beard, so the two sections dont merge visually. Eight colour changes total, and in my experience this stitches out in about 35-40 minutes on a standard home machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer ordered this back in september to make gnome decorations for her halloween table, she stitched it onto felt squares and backed them as little standing ornaments. That is not a use I had thought of but it works really well. Use a medium-weight cutaway behind cotton canvas for the cleanest result. Pick your thread colour order light-to-dark for the satin sections, most machines handle that sequence better when the lighter letter fill goes in before the dark hat colour. Skip tearaway entirely on this one; the 20k stitch count and 239 density will fight a thin backing and you'll end up with tunnel-pull on the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmail me if anything goes sideways with your download or you need the file resent quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412762316950,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HalloweenGnomeBOOMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780552247","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/halloween-gnome-boo-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
