The tangerine orange body fill runs directionally following each bony ridge segment, so there's an actual texture to the surface rather than a flat block of colour. Its one of my more detailed designs and the stitch count of 13,568 to 31,801 across the nine sizes reflects that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dorsal fin on the back fans outward in small narrow satin sections, theyre tight enough that you'll want a 75\/11 needle and good tension to stop them from pulling. Aqua canvas is the fabric I tested on and it was realy the ideal base, the sky blue water shapes nearly blend at the edges which gives it a watercolour effect. You can stitch on a light tee too but cutaway stabiliser is essential at density 928, dont go tearaway on this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages every few weeks from coastal decor customers buying this for nursery pieces. One customer ordered the 7 and a half inch version for a nursery wall hoop last spring, she said the tangerine seahorse on a pale aqua linen looked exactly like what she'd been searching for. She was suprised how clean the ridge segments came out given the size. Glad the digitising held up on that one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch the body first, then the seaweed, then the water shapes last. Use a cutaway stabiliser for any fabric with stretch or texture. Add a water-soluble topping if you're working on anything with a visible weave to stop the satin threads sinking in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46379027333270,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/OceanSeahorseMachineEmbroideryDesign_c18efa24-e9a9-4ee3-a023-3347be80ecac.png?v=1778319570","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/ocean-seahorse","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
