{"product_id":"music-notes-swirl-2","title":"Music Notes Swirl Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuarter notes and eighth notes scattered in a loose swirling cluster, floating upward as if theyre actually coming off an instrument. Theres no staff line, no background, just the notes themselves arranged in a fluid vertical column that tapers at the top. The swirl gives it movement and makes it look like music escaping into the air. Single colour, one continuous run, the kind of design that looks like it took someone maybe five minutes to sketch but took considerably longer to digitise well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity is 345 and stitch count goes from 4,580 at the smallest 2-inch width up to 11,340 at the 4.69-inch, which gives you a nicely dense fill on the note heads and a clean satin column on the note stems. The satin on the stem columns needs a stable base, so Pair midweight cutaway with jersey or any stretchy ground fabric. Tear-away is fine on woven cotton. Topping on terry or fleece, dont skip that step on textured materials. Wilcom set the underlay directionally so the fills dont bleed through on lighter fabrics, which is useful if youre stitching on white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one sells year round but christmas is when it really picks up, people want something quick and music-themed for teacher gifts and I think this fits because its small enough for a mug or a pencil case. A customer last christmas ordered three versions at different sizes and stitched them on the front of a little fabric-covered notebook as a gift for her music teacher. Said the teacher cried a bit, which I think means it worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on white or cream cotton for maximum contrast on the filled circles of the notes. Use a mid-weight woven like quilting cotton or broadcloth, the lighter fabric lets the satin columns sit neatly without sinking. Works well on tote bags and small pouches too. Avoid placing on dark coloured fabric with black thread for obvious reasons. Add water-soluble topping if youre stitching on a fluffy polar fleece ground and the needle keeps catching. Email me if you need a size thats not in the current range and Ill see what can be done.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46185848995990,"sku":null,"price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MusicNotesSwirlMachineEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1768717237","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/music-notes-swirl-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
