{"product_id":"ladybug-line-art-heart-trail","title":"Ladybug Line Art Heart Trail Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI get messages asking for designs that work on kids things without being too babyish, and this is the one I point people to most. Nine red ladybugs scattered in a loose open arrangement, each one a small tight satin dome with black spots and a clean centre seam line running down the back. Between them, thin black curling vine lines connect the group, and tiny open heart outlines nestle in the curves -- so its equal parts bug and botanical, which is realy what gives it character. Ive been stitching versions of this since spring last year and the vine details still suprised me with how sharp they come out on cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo colours: Red and Black. I ran Wilcom for the file build, 5,228 stitches at the smallest up to 11,189 at the largest. The density is low at 213 per the PDF, which makes sense for a design thats mostly line work and small fill patches -- it stitches out light and quick. Each ladybug body is satin fill so stick to fusible mesh on terry for knit or stretch fabric. On woven cotton tearaway handles it fine. Run a test stitch on a scrap first so ya know the tension is dialled in before going on the real piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes from 3.50 up to 7.50 inches wide. Stitch the large end on a shirt front, pop the small end on a toddler pocket or muslin bag. Add stabiliser and dont rush the hooping -- the vine sections are running stitch and they stitch crisp only when the fabric is taut. Skip shiny polyester fabric; the thread doesnt sit right on slippery surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45918188994710,"sku":null,"price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/LadybugLineArtHeartTrailEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764828035","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/ladybug-line-art-heart-trail","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
