{"product_id":"kitten-holding-balloon-sketch","title":"Kitten Holding Balloon Sketch Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres a tiny kitten stood up on her hind legs reaching up to hold the string of a balloon thats floating above her. Tail curled into a question-mark shape behind her. Round eyes, fluffy cheeks, little ears tipped slightly back. The whole thing is drawn loose, like someone roughed it out in pencil and never went back to neaten the lines. Charming exactly because of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts done as one colour. Just black ink on white, no fill blocks anywhere. The hatching strokes do all the work. Cross-hatched fur on the body, soft shading lines under the kitten and on the balloon side, a faint shadow strip below her feet. The balloon itself has angled stroke lines suggesting curve and shine without filling it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch range goes from 7,544 stitches on the smallest 5.5-inch size up to about 12,110 on the 10.5-inch largest hoop. Eleven sizes here, more than usual. Density is realy light at around 226 spi, which is suprisingly easy on the fabric. Wont weigh a tee down at all. I drew the 4-inch for a friend whose son turned 2 in june and wanted balloon party decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall. Single colour. Done. The pose is sweet and the negative space carries it. Pop on natural muslin, ivory waffle, dusty sage knit, off-white cotton or kraft tan canvas because the black sketch needs a quiet background. Skip dark navy and skip black fabric, the line work disappears against deep colours. Skip patterned cloth aswell because the hatching needs empty space to read, otherwise it just dont stand out at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a tear-away stabiliser on woven cotton because the density is light. On a stretchy jersey switch to no-show mesh underlay so the lines wont distort when the fabric pulls. Hoop snug, slow your rpm during the balloon string and tail satin because thin runs need clean tension. Drop me a comment if a thread keeps shredding on the satin runs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45748314833046,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/KittenHoldingBalloonSketchMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1760864158","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/kitten-holding-balloon-sketch","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
