{"product_id":"minimalist-butterfly-side-view","title":"Minimalist Butterfly Side View Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eMessage me if you need a different orientation but honestly the side profile is what sets this apart from every other butterfly design out there. Most butterfly designs show wings spread wide from the front. Here the butterfly is perched, wings folded up and together, viewed from the side. Its the moment of stillness right after landing. The outline is almost entirely running stitch, very sparse at 563 stitches in the smallest size, with just the thorax section worked a bit denser where the body sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour sizes, 1.49 inches wide to 5 inches wide. At 563 stitches its one of the lightest designs Ive released, stitches out so fast youll think the machine skipped something. The 1,283 stitch count at the 5-inch size is still tiny compared to filled designs. Thats deliberate, the whole point is the drawn quality, the way it looks like a pencil sketch lifted into thread. I stitched the 3-inch on cream linen last spring and a few people genuinly thought Id printed it rather than sewn it. One customer messaged me to ask which fabric paint brand I used, which made me laugh. Dont add density, dont try to fill it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlip a soft cutaway beneath the work on linen or cotton before you hoop, and watch your tension closely because with so few stitches any puckering shows straight away. Swap to a lightweight cutaway on stretch fabrics instead of tearaway so the outline doesnt pull out of shape. Grab a 75\/11 sharp needle and slow your machine speed down a touch for those long outline runs. Stitch a test scrap first if youre new to running-stitch work, the technique is forgiving but the fabric prep matters a lot. Message me in the shop if the outline pulls or puckers and Ill help you find the right tension for your fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuyers most often grab it for:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical-style journal covers and fabric notebooks with the sketch look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinen tote bags where the outline sits like a nature illustration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite shirt chest pockets, small 2-inch placement for everyday wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWedding favour bags with a nature theme, fast to stitch in bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNursery wall art hoops in soft grey thread on cream muslin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardigan cuffs and collar edges where you want detail not colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46209674903702,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MinimalistButterflySideViewEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1769334712","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/minimalist-butterfly-side-view","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
