{"product_id":"lightning-cloud","title":"Lightning Cloud Embroidery Design, Storm Cloud Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eShe sent me a photo last month of this one stitched onto a dark navy hoodie pocket and it looked like the cloud was lit from inside. The design is a storm cloud at the top, rounded bumpy edges, dense blue fill, with an outline of lighter aqua around the bottom of the cloud shape. Then from the base, five or six jagged white bolt lines shoot down, branching and forking the way real lightning does. The ground-hit zone at the bottom is a horizontal block of dense satin fill in the same blue tone as the cloud, the whole composition reads as storm, strike, and impact in one piece. Three colours total: white, a light cyan, and the main darker blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe taller orientation helps here, the cloud and the impact zone need vertical space to read as two separate elements rather than one compressed blob. At the 2.37-inch smallest size its tight, but the white threads are still visible against the dark fill. The stitch density is 526, on the lighter side, so the fills breathe a bit rather than being stiff. That works in its favour on softer fabrics like fleece or sweatshirt material. 9 sizes from 2.37 to 5.08 inches wide, 3.5 to 7.5 inches tall, stitches from 9,675 to 20,022. Just two colour changes. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio took the bolt-sequencing so the branching threads dont overlap in the wrong order at any size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop a light cutaway under fleece or sweatshirt. Use a medium tearaway for stable wovens. Float the fabric carefully before starting, any shift mid-stitch and the branching pattern loses its sharpness. Skip light or white fabric entirely, theres no contrast for the white to work against and it reads mostly as a blue shape. Stitch it on dark navy or black where those white bolt threads really stand out. Dont hoop it sideways or youll lose the vertical cloud-to-impact-zone read entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend me a message if anything needs fixing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46351013478550,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/LightningCloudEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776577434","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/lightning-cloud","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
