{"product_id":"peace-sign-daisy-gnome","title":"Peace Sign Daisy Gnome Embroidery Design, Spring Garden Character, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnocked out this gnome design for spring and its turned out to be one of the most detailed pieces Ive done in a while. The gnome squats on a mossy log with no face showing at all, the long beard covers everything from the nose down. He throws a peace sign with one hand, fingers outstretched, and thats the main read of the piece from a distance. The hat is a big rust-brown cone shape with a warm curlicue texture across the dome, and three white daisies sit on it like theyve just landed there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen colours in total. The beard comes in at two tones, grey base stitches with lighter white directional satin on top so it looks properly fluffy rather than flat. Its the kind of fluffy thats hard to get right and Wilcom EmbroideryStudio really earns its keep on sections like that. The daisies have individual white petals fanning out from a small yellow centre, same daisy flowers appear at his feet near the log. Grass at the base is a bright satin green. The log itself has a cross-grain tatami texture so it reads as wood without being fussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixty thousand stitches on the biggest size, density at 1,198 per square inch. Thats proper commercial weight and the machine will feel it. Plan for a long run, use medium-to-heavy cutaway stabiliser, hoop firmly, and slow your machine down twenty percent on the beard sections or the directional fills start pulling. Dont rush the hat dome either, the curlicue runs close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer last spring stitched the big size onto a canvas tote bag and brought it to a craft fair, said she sold it the same day. Works well on cream, sage green, soft white or blush linen. Avoid busy prints as backgrounds because the gnome needs clear space to read at a glance. Floating works better than hooping direct on plush or fleece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on smooth medium-weight cotton or canvas. Skip stretchy fabric on a piece this big or the hoop warps the beard fills. Ping the shop with any colour run questions, there are ten thread changes so its worth checking your order before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058918051990,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/PeaceSignDaisyGnomeEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1767170652","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/peace-sign-daisy-gnome","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
