{"product_id":"highland-cow-3","title":"Highland Cow Embroidery Design, Farm Animal Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI digitised this one back in february after getting alot of requests for a highland cow with real coat texture. Thirteen colours sounds like a lot but each one does actual work, the fringe alone takes four thread changes to get that shaggy, layered look right. At the top 7.5 size you're looking at 63,478 stitches and a density of 175, which means its meant for stable woven fabrics, not knits. Heres the thing though: run a cutaway stabiliser underneath and this thing holds up wash after wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes from 3.5 scaling to 7.5 inches wide means youll find a fit for basically anything. Use a directional underlay so the satin columns on the face sit flat and dont push the fabric around when youre hooped up. I spent a bit of time on the fringe specifically, the topping stitches are tight enough to hold the loops down but loose enough to read as actual hair texture once stitched. Stitch a test piece on scrap first if you havent done heavy satin fringe before. And the horns come out clean on any colour background, which surprised me the first time I stitched a test on dark denim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages asking if the coat colour can be swapped and yeah, absolutely. Pick your own thread palette, the colour blocking is clear enough that substituting is straightforward, even if you want to go a bit wild with it. Avoid very light beige thread on white fabric though, the fringe gets lost. Digitised in Wilcom, exported in all 8 formats so it works with your machine regardless. Holler if you hit any snag loading the file and Ill sort it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46332469903510,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HighlandCowMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1775640647","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/highland-cow-3","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
