{"product_id":"koi-fish-splash","title":"Koi Fish Splash Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eKoi fish mid-leap, body arched hard, tail swiping left. The scales are the real work here, each section individually stitched with a slight directional shift to catch the light differently, so on actual fabric the fish shimmers when you tilt it. Below the fish, stylised water in cobalt blue and teal curls up in woodblock-style waves. Around the body, droplets fan outward in a loose arc, some catching gold thread at the tips where the water catches the light at the peak of the splash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e89,106 stitches at the largest 7.51-inch size, 1,771 density, this is alot of thread in a small footprint. Wilcom digitised each scale with underlay runs first before the top fill goes in, that underlay is what keeps the scales from mushrooming out on the fabric. Cutaway stabiliser only, medium-to-heavy weight. Dont attempt this on lightweight muslin or thin quilting cotton at the big sizes. Slow the machine to under 800rpm through those satin columns and the result is worth it. Text me if the scale detail is pulling and Ill check the file settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts a popular one with the custom jacket crowd. A customer told me she ordered the 6.7-inch version for a black silk bomber jacket back panel, took her 3 hours to hoop and stitch but the result looked straight out of a Harajuku market stall. Shes had people stop her on the street. The orange-red and cobalt palette on black fabric is one of those combinations that just hits hard. 5 sizes from 3.51 to 7.51 inches wide, so theres a size for a shirt cuff stretching across to a full back panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack, deep navy, charcoal and forest green are the base fabrics this design was built for. That deep orange body and gold accents sing on dark backgrounds, light fabrics make the whole thing look washed out. Run 3.51 inch hoop dropped onto a shirt cuff or sleeve hem. Mount the largest version on jacket back panels, large canvas tote fronts or heavyweight cushion covers only. Skip any stretch fabric for the big version, 89k stitches need a stable base to register properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 file formats sit in the download for any machine. Text me your machine model if a format causes issues and Ill recommend the right file from the set.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45909839347862,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/KoiFishSplashEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764390849","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/koi-fish-splash","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
