{"product_id":"hello-pumpkin-leopard-print","title":"Hello Pumpkin Leopard Print Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlayed with the leopard-print pumpkin idea for awhile before this version clicked. The pumpkin shape is a clean bold outline, the kind with the soft rounded lobes, small curly stem at the top. Inside the pumpkin body the fill isnt solid, its a leopard spot pattern where each spot is a small open ellipse shape surrounded by the filled background. The contrast between the open spots and the filled sections is what makes it read as actual animal print rather than a random texture. Then the words sit right across the lower body in a loose handwritten cursive, small caps HELLO stacked above the flowing Pumpkin script below it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle-colour, all black, digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. The leopard fill runs at density 483 which is light enough that the fabric weave adds a lil texture of its own underneath. Stitch count goes from 8,750 on the smallest size up to 22,800 on the 6.74 by 7-inch. The lettering section uses a satin fill for the script strokes so the cursive reads sharp even at the smaller sizes. Ive been digitising leopard-print fills for years and the key is spacing the spots correctly so the fill density between them doesnt get too heavy. Got it right on this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast autumn I had a customer order this for a set of matching tote bags she was making as fall birthday gifts for her friends. She did them all in white thread on black denim and sent photos. They looked genuinely shop-quality. Reach out if you want a thread colour suggestion for your specific fabric, Ill point you in the right direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFabric-wise, smooth cotton canvas, denim, duck cloth or a tight-weave cotton blend are your best options. Avoid loose knits because the leopard spot outlines need a stable weave to hold their shape. Medium cutaway stabiliser is essential here, the pattern has lots of direction changes in the spot outlines and a tearaway can shift mid-run. Float the fabric if youre not hooping directly. Add a layer of water-soluble topping on terrycloth or velvet so the spots dont sink into the pile. Reach out if theres any issue with the file and Ill fix it for you straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45853139861654,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HelloPumpkinLeopardPrintMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763544104","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/hello-pumpkin-leopard-print","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
