{"product_id":"music-notes-tree","title":"Music Notes Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe whole canopy of this tree is built from music notes rather than leaves. Treble clefs sit at the top and at the base edges, quavers and crotchets scatter across the mid section, and long curving branches weave between the notes with swirling spiral tips. The trunk is a single straight column with two or three roots spreading out at the bottom. There is no satin fill at all, its all open linework, running stitch on each note and satin-column outlines on the thicker branches, which is what gives it that hand-drawn illustraton look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe sent me a photo of the 10 inch version last spring, she had stitched it on a canvas bag for her piano teacher and it had come out so good I actually asked her permission to use it as a reference image. The density is only 298 stitches per square inch because of all that open linework, so the thread count stays manageable even on the biggest 37,413 stitch size. Seven sizes in total, starting at around 6 inches wide and going up to 12 inches across.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop a medium-weight cutaway under any stretch or knit fabric before hooping, the running-stitch paths on each note stem travel long distances and they'll pull the fabric if its not stabilised properly. Tear-away works fine on woven canvas or thick cotton drill. On denim, use a cutaway and iron-on tear-away in combination, denim has enough texture that fine note stems need extra grip. Hoop snug or the branch arcs go wobbly, especially on the 10 and 12 inch versions where the canopy spans a wide area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white, ivory, navy, forest green, burgundy or any strong solid colour. Black on dark navy works suprisingly well because you get a tone-on-tone shadow effect rather than a flat black print. Skip busy patterned fabric entirely, the line detail disappears into background noise. Its a single colour thread so it sews in one go with zero stops, which is nice for a long hooping session. Dont skip the wash-away topping on polo pique or fleece or the fine note detail sinks into the pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReach out if you want the design resized to something not in the 7 standard options, I can sometimes do a custom intermediate size depending on which machine format you need.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46190039007382,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MusicNotesTreeEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1768994204","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/music-notes-tree","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
