{"product_id":"i-m-dad-that-stepped","title":"I'm the Dad That Stepped Up Embroidery Design, Father's Day Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe full phrase reads: 'I'm not the step dad, I'm just dad that stepped up' -- laid out in a compact stacked block of mixed typography. The main words 'DAD' and 'STEPPED UP' are in big heavy satin-fill block caps with a 3D shadow bevel effect, and the smaller connecting words run in lighter italic script between them. On the left side, a large boot sole print with detailed tread pattern acts as the main graphic element -- its the kind of work boot sole you'd see on a labour day poster, bold and no-frills. 2 small stars flank the bottom line for balance. All single color black, dense fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get orders for this one every single year in the weeks before father's day. A customer wrote me last june saying she'd done a rush batch on polo shirts for a stepfather and sons reunion and they were a huge hit. Stitch count goes from 8,446 at the smallest size up to 22,008 at 5.6 inches, and with that density you need a cutaway stabiliser on shirts or the satin fill will bubble. Hooped cotton polo or a thick t-shirt takes this well -- the boot tread detail needs the fabric to be pulled tight before the first stitch drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessage me if a file doesnt open and ill get it sorted same day. Use a 80\/12 needle for the heavy satin block letters -- anything finer will skip on dense passes. Stitch it on a black or dark navy shirt in white thread for maximum punch, or keep it in black on a white shirt for the traditional look. Skip anything with alot of texture or pile -- those fine tread lines lose definition on fleece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46224374988950,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/I_mtheDadThatSteppedUpEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1770180385","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/i-m-dad-that-stepped","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
