{"product_id":"light-bulb-splash","title":"Light Bulb Splash Embroidery Design, Creative Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade this one last january when I was putting together a batch of creative\/novelty designs for customers who do custom work for offices and studios. The idea was simple: a classic light bulb but with paint exploding out of it, like the moment an idea hits. Five colours total, directional satin stitching on each splash arm so they dont just look flat, they actually read as rays shooting outward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch counts go from 4,822 at 3.5 inches wide all the way to 13,163 at 7.5 inches. One customer who runs a small graphic design studio ordered a dozen of these on canvas tote bags for her team last spring, and the 5 inch version on ecru canvas looked exactly like she wanted. Alot of buyers ask me if the splash arms stay defined at the smaller sizes and honestly yes, they do, because the underlay on each arm keeps the density consistent even at 3.5 inches. And the bobbin tension matters here too, worth checking that before you run the full stitch-out. Heres the thing about density at 259, it sits right in the range where the design reads crisp without puckering on medium-weight cotton or canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts a five-colour design, so youll want a cutaway stabiliser underneath for anything stretchy. On a cotton canvas bag or stiff linen, a tearaway works fine, the fabric is forgiving enough. Pop it in a small hoop if youre going with the 3.5 inch size on a shirt pocket, the hooped area doesnt need to be huge for this one. Stitch it on tightly woven fabric first if youre new to multi-colour work, it runs much cleaner than on loosely woven materials. Use a light pressing cloth after stitching to set the satin flat without crushing the raised texture. So five colour changes in the stitch sequence, but the breaks are clean and each stop is clearly marked in the file.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoller at me if a file format doesnt work on your machine and Ill swap it for one that does.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46320403480726,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/LightBulbSplashEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1774953561","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/light-bulb-splash","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
