{"product_id":"musical-butterfly","title":"Musical Butterfly Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe butterfly sits on the left, done in a filigree style with swirling ornamental wings full of internal scroll patterns, little circles, and curling tendrils. Its not a naturalistic wing shape at all, more like the kind of thing you'd see in Victorian decorative lettering, where the forms are recognisable but everything is made of flowing curves. The body is a thick satin column. And then from the right side the design opens up into a musical staff, notes scattered along it, quarter notes and eighth notes with their stems, and the staff line curling into a decorative scroll at the far right end. The whole composition runs horizontally, much wider than tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes from 3 inches up to 7 inches wide, but given the horizontal shape the height is pretty shallow. The 7-inch is only 4.55 inches tall. So its a wide design rather than a tall one. That makes it good for a bunch of placements where a tall design wouldnt fit, sleeve bands, scarf ends, bag handles, waistband areas. Stitch count goes from 4,419 at the smallest up to 9,638 at the largest, 1 colour throughout, digitised in Wilcom with tight satin on the butterfly body and lighter density on the staff section so one side doesnt drag heavier than the other. Run it on cream or white cotton for a clean first test.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusic teachers are the main buyers. Thats just the reality. I get orders every august and september from people making back-to-school gifts for piano teachers, choir directors, and school music department staff. One customer this past august sent me message saying shed ordered the 6-inch for her daughters piano teacher recital gift bag and the design stitched out in about 12 minutes on cream linen. Quick run for a gift-maker who needs several done in a night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, linen or canvas. Hoop in landscape orientation at the larger sizes, check before you load or youll clip the notes on the right end. Skip any pile fabrics like velvet or terry here, the fine staff lines need a smooth flat ground. Slow your machine down on the filigree scroll sections to keep the satin edge tight. And watch for jump stitches between the note heads, Wilcom trimmed em clean but its worth checking on your first pass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46224536895638,"sku":null,"price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MusicalButterflyEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1770197031","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/musical-butterfly","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
