{"product_id":"highly-detailed-bumblebee-2","title":"Bumblebee Embroidery Design, Detailed Bee Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI get questions about this bee more than almost anything else in my catalogue. The density on this one is 103, which is genuinely high, at the top 7.5-inch size youre looking at 37,452 stitches, and every one of those is doing work on the abdominal stripe detail. The satin runs directional across each stripe segment, which is what gives it that almost photographic quality at scale. Run this on a medium to heavyweight fabric, not something delicate, the density will pull on a thin quilting cotton if you dont back it properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly 3 colours, yellow-gold, black, and a pale wing tone, but the layering makes it look like more. Wilcom handled the digitising, and the underlay sequencing on this was genuinely complex, I wont pretend otherwise. The wing sections use a light fill underlay first to stabilise the topping layer, then the vein lines run over the top. Use knit-friendly cutaway on anything youre stitching this onto, full stop. The stitch count at the larger sizes is too heavy for tearaway. Skip tearaway on any size above 5 inches with this design, the stripe tension alone will split it mid-hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes from 3.5 through to 7.5 inches wide. The smallest size drops to 1,089 stitches, thats the one that works on patches or smaller goods. Check your bobbin tension before you start on the main fabric, because a pull on the yellow-gold stripes will show on the back immediately. One customer ordered it last april for a framed piece at 7 inches on linen, and she sent me message saying it was the most detailed bee shes ever stitched. That made my day, to be honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmail me if youre having trouble with the file, the format, or if something looks off after you load it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46338228355222,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HighlyDetailedBumblebeeMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776060903","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/highly-detailed-bumblebee-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
