{"product_id":"monochrome-fairy-butterfly","title":"Monochrome Fairy Butterfly Embroidery Design, Fantasy Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustomers asked for a more detailed version of this kind of fairy wing design after seeing simpler butterfly silhouettes, and this is what i put together last spring in response. Its not a flat silhouette, the wings are built up in layers of fine directional stitching, almost like lace or etching. The upper wings are the dominant element, each one split into sections with different fill angles and a filigree-style internal pattern that creates the impression of veining without being a literal vein drawing. The fairy figure itself is slim and minimal, just the torso and head between the wing roots, so the eye goes straight to all that surface texture in the wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour tones: a pale grey, a darker charcoal grey, white, and black. Three colour changes. The lightest grey fills the outer wing panels, the darker grey handles the denser sections and body, then the darkest threads create the linework contrast. At density 1,067 this is a proper mid-weight design, enough stitch coverage to read clearly on fabric without being so heavy the wings stiffen up. 9 sizes from 3.5 inches wide at the smallest up to 7.49 inches at the largest, heights from 3.19 to 6.82 inches, stitch counts from 22,885 to 54,487. Theres 167 trims at the smallest size, which means the machine is jumping frequently between the fine line sections, its completely normal for this type of detailed work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTape a medium-weight cutaway behind any stretch or knit fabric before you hoop. The filigree sections need a firm base to register properly. Use a medium tearaway on woven cotton or canvas. Stitch it centred on a dark fabric if you want the grey tones to pop. On white fabric the design reads mostly as a grey-on-white sketch, still nice but lower contrast. The wide-but-not-tall shape suits a square or landscape placement rather than a tall narrow one, so plan your hoop orientation before you start, Ive had people hoop it sideways and wonder why it doesnt fit right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmail me if you need any help with sizing or if the file needs sorting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46351017869462,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MonochromeFairyButterflyEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776578054","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/monochrome-fairy-butterfly","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
