{"product_id":"honey-bee","title":"Honey Bee Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres the honey bee design and shes proper fuzzy. The bee sits front-on with wings open. Body striped in black and golden orange. Behind her sit a bunch of yellow honeycomb hexagons and a little sun burst peeking out top right. Honestly the whole thing reads like one warm summer afternoon in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter looking at the stitch file the bee body uses directional fill so the fuzz on the thorax actually catches light. Wings layer in soft cream stitching over the honeycomb, you can see the hex tiles right through em. Six colours total, runs about 25k stitches at the small size and climbs to 61k on the biggest 7-inch piece. So yeah, dense, but its laid out clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast spring I get message from a beekeeper customer who wanted this on burlap apron fronts for her farmers market stall and the rust-coloured stripes just popped against the natural fibre. But it also stitches beautifully on cream linen tea towels and pale sage cotton. Avoid black or navy fabric, the wing detail vanishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on a medium woven cotton or natural linen for cleanest hex lines. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser, this one has alot of dense fill and the honeycomb jumps will pull jersey out of shape. Pop polyester thread on the yellow because it holds the gold tone wash after wash. Hoop tight aswell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd about the wings, slow your machine down on those layers, the cream over yellow needs the underlay to settle. If a stitch test goes sideways just send me message on chat and ill rework the file overnight, you wont lose a market day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45732396007574,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HoneyBeeMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1760434397","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/honey-bee","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
