{"product_id":"i-read-books-like-it","title":"I Read Books Like It's My Job Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo lines of chunky lettered text sandwich a row of books standing upright on a shelf. The top line reads \"I read books\" in big bold satin columns, the bottom says \"like it's my job\" in the same weight, and in between theres a tight little library scene, maybe 8 or 9 spines all crammed together, navy blue and crimson and golden yellow and aqua, with tiny leaf sprigs curling out from each side like the shelf itself grew vines. Black outlines all the way through, keeps everything sharp at any size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8 colours are navy, a warm gold-yellow, white, brown for the wooden shelf, red, aqua, and black for the majority of the lettering. Wilcom digitised the satin columns on the big letters with tight directional underlay so theyll sit flat on cotton or canvas without puckering. I ran the 3.51 inch version on a cream linen tote earlier this year and it came out cleaner than I expected for that many colour changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlot of my book-themed designs end up on teacher gifts, and this one is probably the most requested. One customer wrote me last november saying shed put the 4.61-inch size on a navy tote for her daughters english teacher and got a proper thank-you note back. Thats the kind of feedback that makes the digitising worth it. The shelf scene is the bit people notice up close, the letters read from a distance, so ya get both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest fabric is medium-weight cotton or canvas in cream, white, or charcoal. Avoid stretchy jersey because the lettering satin columns need a stable base. Hoop snug and use a cutaway stabiliser underneath, the density on the large size hits 34k stitches so dont skimp. Skip topping on the shelf section if your machine handles it cleanly but add a water-soluble topping on the letters if theyre going onto a textured weave.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45833582477462,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/IReadBooksLikeIt_sMyJobMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1762835293","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/i-read-books-like-it","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
