{"product_id":"hot-air-balloon","title":"Hot Air Balloon Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis hot air balloon has that old-fashioned illustrated look, like something off a vintage travel poster or a classic storybook page. The balloon divides into vertical panels alternating orange, deep teal, and a soft butter-yellow, with fine black outline lines running along each panel seam. Rope stitches hang in a slight curve down to the wicker basket, and soft white cloud shapes drift across the lower third of the balloon giving it that dreamy floating quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilcom built the satin sequence. The 7 colour build comes out as orange panel fill, dark magenta accent stripe, butter-yellow, dark teal, mid-teal for the cloud base, white for cloud highlights, and black for the outline and rope detail. The cloud sections use a low-density fill so they read airy rather than solid, and the black linework runs last which is what delivers that etched illustration feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScales 3-7.5 in wide and youre going from 15,547 stitches to 40,818, so youll notice the run time difference at the large end. Use medium-weight cutaway on anything you plan to wash regularly. Tearaway is fine for framed pieces or stable canvas totes. Those airy cloud sections only need a 75\/11 needle on most fabrics so dont overthink the setup. On quilting cotton the result is realy clean because the flat weave doesnt compete with the linework. Stitch this on white, cream, or pale sky-blue fabric and the orange and teal panels really jump out. Avoid dark backgrounds, the cloud detail disappears completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was suprised last spring by how many customers grabbed this for nursery items. One customer ran the 5-in nursery size on a white cotton cot duvet panel for a travel-theme nursery, sent me a photo a week later and it looked great. Light and airy enough for baby textiles, detailed enough for adult tote bags and denim jackets. Pop it on a canvas shopper for an everyday carry or run it on a kids bedroom pillow for a travel theme. Both ends covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on a 5x7 hoop for the mid sizes. Add a topping on terry or fleece so those filler stitches dont sink into the pile. Pick a 90\/14 needle for denim or thick canvas, drop back to 75\/11 for quilting weight cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46316824952982,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/HotAirBalloonEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1774776661","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/hot-air-balloon","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
