{"product_id":"mystic-moth-moon-phase","title":"Mystic Moth Moon Phase Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTook ages to get the moth wings balanced on this one because symmetrical designs are unforgiving when one side pulls more than the other mid-hoop. The moth sits centre-frame with wings spread wide, the upper and lower wing pairs each carrying two eyespot circles. The wing fill uses a crosshatch underlay approach so the satin lays in a woven texture, like the wings have a scaled or woven-silk surface even though theres only one colour. Fine hairline antennae run upward from the head. Below the moth a row of 7 moon phase discs goes from full circle left through waning and waxing crescents back to full on the right, each phase a separate satin-filled shape. Above, a long arching botanical branch with small leaf sprigs connects the two sides, and theres a single filled circle moon disc centred above the moths head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle colour so youre not juggling thread changes. 5 sizes, 3.04 inches wide at the smallest, 7.09 at the biggest, near-square proportions so it hoops easily on standard sizes. Stitch counts 7,760 to 19,727, density 397. That density is kept moderate on purpose so the negative space inside the crescent moon shapes stays open and readable at all 5 sizes. Use cutaway on anything with stretch, tearaway on firm cotton or canvas. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio lays the eyespot fill in concentric circles rather than straight rows, you can see those rings in the finished piece. Ive been selling this one to the witchy and celestial crowd since we launched it last autumn and I get messages every new moon cycle from people who just got their machine and want something that looks like proper art. Pop it on black fabric in white thread for the celestial reading, or go cream linen in black for a botanical illustration vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a topping on any textured fabric so the antenna hairlines dont sink into the weave. Best stitched at 600 SPM or below on the dense eyespot sections. Stitch the 3-inch size on a drawstring pouch for a spiritual gift that takes about 40 minutes total to run.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45863567392918,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MysticMothMoonPhaseMachineEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1763959817","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/mystic-moth-moon-phase","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
