{"product_id":"hard-times-do-not-last","title":"Hard Times Do Not Last Forever Sunflower Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt this one with people going through a rough patch in mind, not in a cheesy way, just a design that actually says something. Left half is a big sunflower, the petals done in black outline, the disc filled dense in black satin with those little seed swirls in it. Right half is the quote stacked in 5 lines, the alternating two-colour text making your eye bounce down through the whole phrase word by word, with small hearts and four-pointed star accents floating in the gaps. Its busy in the best way, nothing feels random.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity is 620 which is fairly high, the stitch count at the biggest 7-inch size hits 28,557 so this is a proper project not a quick 20 minute hoop. At the smallest its 3 inches wide, 2.82 tall, 12,024 stitches, which is still detailed enough to read every word. 5 sizes total. Use a firm medium-weight cutaway stabiliser because of the density on that sunflower disc, tearaway would shift on a second wash if youre putting this on a garment. Stitch slow on the disc fill section, around 600 stitches per minute, to keep the needle cool and the satin flat. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio so the directional fill maps outward from the centre of the disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer wrote me last autumn after putting the 7-inch version on a fleece blanket for someone coming out of hospital, said it was the thing they cried over most. Run it on a natural linen or cream cotton tote for a gift that actually means something. Dm me if your thread colours dont match the file spec and I can suggest adjustments. Skip dark backgrounds on this one or the red lettering disappears into the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45862711492758,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HardTimesDoNotLastForeverSunflowerEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1763958067","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/hard-times-do-not-last","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
