{"product_id":"mermaid-tail-shell-sea-leaves","title":"Mermaid Tail with Shell \u0026 Sea Leaves Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSo much packed into one little frame. Aqua mermaid tail flicks up at the top, satin filled and so smooth it almost looks airbrushed. Below the tail, body is pink and magenta in a scaled patchwork that reads like watercolour blocks rather than realy clean tile. Teal scallop shell sits dead centre as the focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeaweed fans out either side. Magenta fronds on the right, deep blue and aqua leaves on the left, all on thin stem lines that connect back to a kelly green wavy line along the base, the seafloor I guess. Hearts and tiny dots drift through the empty corners. Adds alot of charm and the colour mix shouldnt work but somehow it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight colour stops including dark green, magenta, pink, dark blue, aqua and a couple soft pinks. But the stop sequence is sensible, big fills first then accent leaves and shell on top. Bottom green wave grounds the whole thing so it doesnt float on the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on a pale base so the colours pop. White, cream, pale pink, mint or soft yellow all work. Last month one customer wrote in asking for the medium 5-inch hoop on her daughters seventh birthday tote bags and the magenta really lit up on the cream canvas. Steer clear of deep colours here, magenta and aqua go muddy without a topping. And skip stretchy knit aswell, satin tail panels need a stable hoop or theyll pucker on the curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensest size runs about 21k stitches, smallest sits near 9k so you have headroom from kids tees up through bigger towel panels. Use medium-weight cutaway under cotton wovens, two layers of tear-away beneath duck canvas. Hoop nice and snug, then do a quick stitch test on scrap first to confirm the sea-leaf jumps trim clean to avoid trail threads on the final piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45768317534358,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MermaidTailwithShell_SeaLeavesMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1761472804","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/mermaid-tail-shell-sea-leaves","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
