{"product_id":"moon-panda-2","title":"Moon Panda Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eLittle panda sitting right on the crescent moon, wide-eyed and smiling with those big teal eyes, wearing the flopiest striped nightcap you've ever seen drooping sideways. Stars dotted all around him. Thats basically it and its genuinely one of my favourite nursery designs I've done. The moon is this warm golden-yellow with scattered brown crater spots stitched across the surface, and the panda has proper charcoal-grey and cream markings, plus those bubblegum-pink paw pads that make the whole thing pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour sizes available, 3.51 x 3.31 inches up to 6.51 x 6.14 inches, stitch counts going from 15,698 to 33,833. Ten colours total in this one, which is alot for a nursery design, so your machine will need to handle that bobbin rotation. The nightcap stripes use directional satin fills that look really crisp on smooth cotton or linen but can flatten on terry or fleece, so a water-soluble topping layer is worth adding for those. Use a cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy like onesie fabric or jersey, and an underlay pass on the white cream belly area so the fill dosent look thin when its done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy sister-in-law stitched the 6.5-inch version on a cream cotton crib quilt last spring and it came out so well, the golden moon tones pulled the quilt palette together really nicely. Im also getting a bunch of orders for the smaller 3.5-inch size on mini cotton bibs and muslin swaddle corners. Hoop your fabric tight before you start, the tatami fill on the moon surface has just enough density that loose hooping creates drag and pulls the satin outline off-register on the panda ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCenter the design carefully and leave atleast half an inch clearance on all sides for the star tips. Skip jump stitch trims across the moon fill if your machine supports lock stitching instead, it keeps the back clean especially on sheer fabrics or double-gauze swaddles. Try the 4-inch size on canvas tote bags for a baby shower gift, navy or sage canvas makes that golden moon colour look incredible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessage me a photo if the satin edges pull thin. No fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45916611870870,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MoonPandaEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764753473","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/moon-panda-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
