{"product_id":"japanese-sakura-mountain","title":"Japanese Sakura Mountain Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI drew this one as a two-colour Japanese scene because I wanted something that looked like a woodblock print without needing five or six colour changes. I was working on this last march and tested it across cream linen and navy canvas before I was happy with the contrast balance. The mountain silhouette sits behind the sakura branches and both elements share the same fill style -- dense satin columns on the mountain form and carefully digitised individual blossoms on the branches. Two colours only: a dark near-black for the mountain and branches, a soft cherry-blossom pink for the flowers and any sky detail. Density is 820 and Ive run it across nine sizes in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, smallest at 3.5 inches wide and largest reaching 7.5 inches across and nearly 6 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes means theres something for every project from a small cap badge up to a full jacket back panel. Stitch count climbs from 14,605 on the 3.5-inch size up to 36,710 on the 7.5-inch -- the large sizes have a lot of satin area in the mountain body so use a firm cutaway stabiliser, dont try tearaway on anything over 5 inches wide with this design. On the smaller sizes the blossom clusters get tight, slow the machine and add a topping film on fluffy fabrics so the petals dont sink into the pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reads best on white, cream or light grey fabric where the contrast between the dark mountain and the pink blossoms comes through clearly. Ive had good results on navy and black aswell but in that case swap the dark thread to white or ivory so the mountain shape still reads -- its a two-colour design so ya have to think about contrast carefully. Cotton quilting fabric and linen are my favourites for this one, they hold the satin fills flat and the finished piece looks sharp enough to frame in a hoop. Stitch with a lightweight topping on Terry or fleece to protect the fine blossom detail. Skip heavy structured bases like denim for anything under 5 inches wide -- the satin density reads best on softer wovens at smaller scales.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46362798096534,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/JapaneseSakuraMountainEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777287759","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/japanese-sakura-mountain","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
