Thats the number that made this design worth doing properly. I spent extra time on this last october because I wanted a halloween gnome that felt layered and rich, not just orange-and-black. At 13,259 stitches and density 196, the witch gnome stands at 2.99 by 3.5 inches, portrait format, same shape as a gnome door decoration, which is intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hat brim is digitised with a slight curve-inward satin technique to give it that classic wilted witch hat look, and the beard has layered directional fill with a subtle separation line between sections. I used Wilcom for the digitising and spent most of the time on the robe layers, getting twelve colours to sit in clean sequence without colour-bleed at the seams requires careful underlay at each transition. Cutaway stabiliser on knits and fleece, tearaway on woven cotton, and use a 75\/11 needle throughout. Stitch the robe sections at medium speed for clean edge fills. Pop a water-soluble topping on fluffy fleece to keep the beard definition sharp. Use a firm hoop snap, dont let the fabric shift after the first couple of colour passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had a customer write last week asking if this works on dark fabric, and yeah, it does, but you lose the navy and charcoal details against very dark grounds. A customer in our community stitched it on black last halloween and said it looked bold rather than detailed, which is a different effect. The default 12-thread palette includes a specific burnt orange that I recieved as a spool recommendation from a friend, and it reads warmer than most standard oranges in the colour library, so pick the nearest warm tone if yours doesnt match exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair this with cream, natural, or dusty pink ground fabric for the full palette to show. Skip charcoal or black grounds unless you want the bold-silhouette effect rather than the full twelve-colour depth. Text me with any file or colour questions and Ill get back to you quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412801769622,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HalloweenWitchGnomeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780555282","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/halloween-witch-gnome","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
