But they have this energy where they look like they're absolutely having a conversation about something very important, and people respond to that when they see it. I built this one back in december after a customer wrote me saying she wanted a quirky bird pair for her daughters room, the side-by-side composition clicked immediately. Eight colours and a density of 87, solid but not brutal, across nine sizes from 3.5 reaching 7.5 inches wide. Stitch count climbs to 31,631 at the largest, so its a medium-to-long run on most home machines at full size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd the neck sections are what you want to watch here. That long pale pink satin column needs a firm underlay pass or the pink satin shifts on textured fabrics. Use a single-run underlay at 70% density before the main satin fill on the necks, or you get that worm-like pucker along the centre. Cutaway stabiliser recommended on anything that washes regularly, the leg details are thin satin runs and they lift on knits without a proper backing. Use a 40-weight thread throughout for the colour fills and drop to a 50-weight for the leg and lash outlines. Topping isnt really needed unless youre stitching on a high-pile terry cloth, in which case float a water-soluble sheet over the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get asks from folks making kids room wall hangings and nursery projects with this design alot, which makes total sense, the pair composition reads really well at the larger sizes on a square linen panel. Also works well as a matching set on two kids pillowcases, one bird each. The 5-inch size on a tote bag is probably the most popular use I see from buyers though. Run your bobbin thread slightly looser than normal on the fluffy feather sections so the top thread pulls just enough to sit proud and give the fill a lil texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter stitching, give this one a cold-cycle machine wash inside-out, the pale pink neck satin is the most colour-sensitive part and the first hot wash can shift it slightly if the thread was low-quality to begin with.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46332598059158,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteOstrichDuoMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1775649170","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/ostrich-duo-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
