{"product_id":"otter-laurel-branch","title":"Otter with Laurel Branch Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eRight so the otter sits dead centre inside a thick circular ring, looking a bit smug about it if Im honest. The ring itself's a solid satin band, quite chunky, so it anchors the whole composition. Inside the ring the otter's rendered in fine contour linework, just the outline of its body, a scratch of whiskers and some hatching on the muzzle, no fill at all. Then at the bottom a two-stem laurel branch crosses underneath, the leaves done in solid dark satin that matches the ring weight. The contrast between the delicate otter sketching and the heavy botanical frame is what gives this one its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity rests at a light 286 per square inch, spot on for the fine contour sections. Biggest size is 6.51 wide by 5.47 inches tall at just over ten thousand stitches, smallest is 2.51 by 2.11 at four-thousand-odd stitches, so you can recognise the detail even scaled down to a shirt pocket. Five sizes altogether, one colour throughout, no stops for thread swaps. Thats the whole appeal really, its low-fuss to stitch out and looks considered once its done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI quite like this one for nature journalling gear, its got a bit of a field-guide or wax-seal vibe to it. One customer told me last weekend she put it on the front of a kraft paper notebook cover she sells at a craft fair and it shifted faster than anything else on her table. Also brilliant on linen, the delicate linework breathes nicely against a textured weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest results on smooth to medium-weight fabric, cream linen, natural cotton canvas, off-white tote cloth. Add a layer of water-soluble topping if the weave's a bit loose, it keeps the fine whisker stitches from sinking in. Use a light cutaway stabiliser, hoop firmly, and stitch slowly through the whisker sections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059010097302,"sku":null,"price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/OtterwithLaurelBranchEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1767179215","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/otter-laurel-branch","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
