{"product_id":"peeking-bird","title":"Peeking Bird Embroidery Design, Cartoon Bird Machine Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres the peeking bird and its got serious personality. The cartoon bird pokes its whole head and one orange clawed foot around the side of a brown tree trunk, like it just spotted you and froze mid-step. Two giant googly eyes carry the whole show, one circle way bigger than the other, with deep blue irises and tiny white shine dots that sit on top in satin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body uses soft teal blue with darker blue and a bit of green streaked through the feathers. Pink touches sit around the cheek area too which i didnt expect to work but it realy does. Directional satin stitching gives the feathers a fluffy read instead of a flat patch. Bold black cartoon outlines pull the whole thing together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI drew this for kids stuff mainly. Last christmas a customer sent me photos of these stitched onto her sons 4T tshirts and that suprised cartoon face had every kid in his daycare laughing. Also works on bird watcher gift totes and nature-themed nursery pieces. The orange beak and feet pop hard against the cool blue tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white, pale grey, soft yellow or cream cotton so the teal feathers show up clean. Skip black or navy fabric, the cool body fill gets swallowed. Pop a brighter teal swap on the body if you wanna run it on dark fabric anyway. Avoid heavy patterned cotton, the 12 colour mix needs a calm background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a heavy cutaway stabiliser, no skimping, especially on knits. The eye area carries alot of stitches because the gloss highlights need density. 9 sizes run from 3.5 to 7.5 inches, 12 colours, max 71,035 stitches. Run polyester thread on the directional feathers so the colours hold up wash after wash.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45727039226006,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/PeekingBirdMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1760263276","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/peeking-bird","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
