{"product_id":"mountain-apr-s-ski","title":"Mountain Après Ski Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eEnd-of-season ski trips and lodge weekends are when this one sells most, that specific moment after a long run down a powder slope when someone cracks open the champagne and you think yeah, this is what winter is actually for. The design captures exactly that: a pair of bold red skis and poles propped in the snow, a green champagne bottle sitting in a chiller bucket with little bubbles rising, a champagne flute and a red wine glass right beside it, and teal mountain peaks sketched out behind the whole scene. Chunky hand-drawn \"Apres Ski\" lettering across the bottom, black star accents scattered around. Really lively, abit festive without going over the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI digitised this with dense satin columns on the ski bodies and the champagne bottle, so theres genuine shine when its stitched out. The stitch count hits 22,368 on the 7.5-inch so its alot of detail at the larger sizes. Use a medium-density cutaway stabiliser on fleece and thick terry cloth, tearaway works fine on canvas and cotton twill. For those teal mountain outlines, a topping layer on fleece stops the stitches sinking into the pile. Hoop it snug, centre the lettering carefully, and the directional satin on each ski gives that ribbon-like gloss effect. And the underlay on the bucket area is worth keeping, it really anchors the zigzag texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop this onto a market tote for a ski-trip gift, stitch it onto a fleece throw, or put the 4.5-inch version on the chest of a charcoal crewneck. A bunch of my buyers use the 5-inch on apron fronts for lodge-style kitchen gear. Last winter one customer wrote me after putting it on matching cotton canvas pouches for a group going to the Alps, said they were a massive hit. Skip the water-soluble topping on smooth denim, you dont need it. But on terry cloth or thick fleece, go with a 75\/11 needle and keep your bobbin tension just a touch looser than normal so the underlay holds everything flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust message me if your format isnt in the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46429056303254,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MountainApresSkiEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782033150","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/mountain-apr-s-ski","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
