{"product_id":"i-am-black-history-afro","title":"I Am Black History Afro Woman Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe whole design centres on a side-profile silhouette. Theres a Black woman facing left, her chin lifted slightly, and her natural afro fills the top half of the image. The words I am BLACK HISTORY are stacked and layered inside the silhouette itself, with the lettering varying in size and angle so it flows through the hair and down into the jaw. Alot of word-art designs look cluttered but this one reads clearly even at the smaller 3.5-inch size because of how Wilcom handled the negative space between the letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle-colour, solid black thread, 1 stop. No thread swaps mid-stitch, so setup is fast. The 4 trims are clean. Smallest size comes in at 9,128 stitches and the full 7.5 by 5.5 inch version runs to 29,275. And density runs at a friendly 712 so its not gonna fight your stabiliser or drag the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get alot of orders for this one in february. Black history teachers buying it for staff hoodies, natural hair salon owners who want it on canvas tote bags for clients, mums who stitch it onto their daughters school backpacks before the month starts. One customer last february ordered 12 of the large size for a community centre staff fleece run and said the recipients actually cried when they saw it. Thats the kind of reaction you want from a design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on black fabric and it nearly disappears which isnt what you want. Use white, cream, oatmeal, sage, or charcoal instead so the silhouette reads clean. Pop the smallest 3.5-inch on a canvas pouch or a notebook cover. But put the full 7.5-inch on a tote bag, a hoodie back, or a framed linen hoop and it really lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a medium cutaway stabiliser underneath, especially on any knit or fleece where the dense lettering sections could drag. Hoop snug and keep your presser foot speed moderate through the word-fill areas. Wilcom used a satin-style fill on the hair outline and it holds well on linen and cotton canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46296945557654,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/IAmBlackHistoryAfroWomanSilhouetteEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1773740284","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/i-am-black-history-afro","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
