{"product_id":"hibiscus-flower-2","title":"Hibiscus Flower Embroidery Design, Tropical Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis hibiscus is the most stitch-heavy design in my entire floral catalogue. Density of 185 and a max stitch count of 67,271 running the 7.5-inch size. Seven colours are in this, two coral-to-pink petal tones, a lighter centre pink, a yellow-gold for the stamen, a cream for pollen detail, and two greens for the leaf base. Wilcom was the digitising software and the underlay on those petals is layered, a fill underlay first, then a directional satin layer on top, which is what creates that almost-photographic bloom quality at full size. Pair this with a 40-weight rayon thread on the petal fills to get the sheen you want on the coral tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the density is 185 youre going to need a cutaway stabiliser on this, full stop. Dont try a tearaway on something this heavy, the stitch pull will break the stabiliser before you finish the hoop. I use a medium-weight iron-on cutaway on structured fabrics like canvas or denim, and a sew-in cutaway for anything softer like linen or twill. The bobbin thread matters too, use a proper 60-weight bobbin thread and make sure your tension is set before you start because the dense satin on the petals is unforgiving if tension is off. Skip any tearaway stabiliser option on this one entirely, Id say that confidently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes from from a 3.5 to a 7.5 inches wide. The smallest is 1,007 stitches, thats basically outline-only at that scale, which looks surprisingly lovely on a small pouch or patch. One customer ordered the large size last june for a framed piece on stretched linen, and she said it took her machine 3 hours to stitch but the result was worth every minute. Run this on a mid-weight linen or canvas and wash inside out on a gentle cycle after stitching to keep the thread sheen intact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46338216099990,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HibiscusFlowerEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776059116","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/hibiscus-flower-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
