{"product_id":"ostrich-face","title":"Adorable Ostrich Face Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIve had alot of wildlife designs through the shop but the ostrich portrait is one of the few that works at both a large scale and a mid-size without losing the expression. Nine colours, density at 1,207, and stitch counts going from 27,151 at the 3.45-inch smallest up to 67,053 at the full 7.41-inch size -- that upper number is a seriously dense design and you feel it in the execution time on the machine. The Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising keeps the satin segments on the neck plumage running in directional shifts so the layers look like they actually overlap, not just sit flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd the facial detail is where the complexity really earns its keep. The bare skin area around the eye uses a muted pinkish-beige satin with an underlay to stop it sinking into the surrounding feather fill. Thats the detail that makes the face read as alive rather than flat. Use a cutaway stabiliser on all fabric types with this design -- the density at 1,207 means tearaway will distort on anything less than heavy canvas. Add a water-soluble topping on terry or fleece to stop the satin from sinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer who does zoo-themed nursery decor ordered this one last april alongside three other bird designs and she stitched them all onto individual muslin hoops for a gallery wall. Run the neck fill before the face detail and the beak last -- that sequence stops the beak outline from being buried under the neck coverage. Pair it with a pale linen or cream cotton ground for the best contrast against the dark neck tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch speed matters on dense designs like this -- slow it down to about 600 SPM for the satin sections and you get cleaner column edges on the plumage. Cotton muslin and linen both wash well after stitching at density 1,207.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46361893011606,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AdorableOstrichFaceEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777199360","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/ostrich-face","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
