{"product_id":"mouse-dandelion","title":"Mouse on Dandelion Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheres a small teal-coloured mouse perched right on top of a dandelion clock, hunched forward a bit like its having a good look at the seeds. One seed has already floated free and drifts off to the left with that long fine wispy thread trailing behind it. The dandelion stem runs straight down the composition and those fine dandelion bristles radiate out from the seed head like a sunburst. The mouse has a burnt orange ear, a pale cream belly, a long pale tail curling around the stem. Its the kind of image you see and feel suprised by how much personality a lil mouse can carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven thread colours keep the palette honest and quiet. Teal body, burnt orange inner ear, charcoal shading on the back and haunches, olive green for the stem, black lines doing the whiskers and fine hatch detail, cream and white for the seed bristles. The low density at 434 per inch gives the whole piece a soft airy quality, stitches sit without crowding, which is exactly right for a subject this delicate. Wilcom ran the dandelion bristles in single satin columns, very fine, the smallest sizes drop to 9,270 stitches total and the largest 7.5-inch tops at 19,767 so its a manageable run even on slower machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA garden centre in the Cotswolds messaged me in May asking if this would work on their seasonal tote bags for the summer planting range. They wanted something soft and botanical and not overly cutesy. I stitched a sample on natural linen and sent it along. They came back with a bulk order. The combination of the mouse and the floating seed really works for anything garden-themed, countryside, or nature-loving customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse cutaway stabiliser on linen and canvas for clean registration on the fine bristle lines. Tearaway works on stable cotton but the thin satin columns drift on anything loosely woven. Avoid polyester fleece on the finer sizes, the bristle satin threads catch on the pile. Pair the 5-inch version with a small text block underneath for a natural gift look on totes. Text it to me if a bristle thread breaks mid-run and ill check whether a thread tension tweak is needed on that section.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46365395353750,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MouseonDandelionEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777460260","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/mouse-dandelion","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
