{"product_id":"handprint-tree","title":"Handprint Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe handprint is facing forward, fingers spread open, stitched in a solid crimson red fill. Then a bare tree grows straight through it. Roots spread at the base of the wrist, trunk runs up through the palm, and the bare branches fork and split up through each finger and out past the fingertips. The branches are thin black satin-column lines in fine detail, they stop being just tree branches and start looking like the hand is growing them from inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo colours: the Madeira Classic 40 crimson red (code 1481) takes 5,332 stitches on the smallest size and 6,640 on the biggest, and then standard black fills the tree at over 15,500 stitches on the largest 8.5-inch size. One colour change only, 1 stop. The overall stitch counts run 20,893 on the smallest 5.5-inch up to 33,159 on the 8.5-inch. Its a landscape design, wider than tall, which matches the handprint shape naturally and its wider than its tall across all seven sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI sold a bunch of these to social work organisations and charity groups last year who do family awareness projects. Its also popular with people doing custom memorial pieces or family tree gifts. But honestly lots of people just think it looks cool and put it on tees. The handprint-tree combination doesnt get old, theres something about it that just works as a graphic even if youre not attaching any meaning to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on cream, sand or oatmeal fabric where the red reads warm rather than harsh. White works too but makes the red look brighter and more intense than it is on oatmeal. Use a cutaway stabiliser, the black branch detail at 722 density needs stable backing especially on the thinnest branch tips. Skip patterned fabric here because the fine branch lines cant compete with a busy background. Pick the 7-inch or 8.5-inch for a tee front or hoodie back where the branches can spread fully and the roots dont get cropped.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46384559620246,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HandprintTreeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778739320","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/handprint-tree","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
