{"product_id":"peeking-fox","title":"Peeking Fox Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fox is kinda just peeking round the tree, one ear forward and one tipped back, those big dark oval eyes looking straight at whoever is gonna wear this. Its a young kit, not a full adult, you can tell by the proportions because the head is still a bit oversized for the body. The tree trunk runs up the right side in rough vertical crosshatch. Grass tufts sit low at the bottom. Four colours: dark charcoal for the main fur body, a mid-grey for the lighter face markings, white for the nose tip and eye highlights, near-black for the outline details. Really really tonal, the whole thing sits in grey-brown neutrals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stitching approach is what makes this design special. Wilcom digitised it as a sketch-style piece, so the lines are directional and follow the fur growth, not just filling shapes with flat fill. The belly area uses lighter density to mimic the softer chest fur, the ears go denser with finer parallel stitching. Eleven sizes in total, running from 5.5 inches wide at the smallest up to 10.5 inches on the largest. Stitch counts stay lean, 5,386 to 8,601, because its mostly open line work with underlay instead of solid tatami fill. Customising or digitising over this style takes ages to get right, its one of those that looks simple but isnt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages from woodland nursery mums about this one constantly. One customer ordered the 7-inch size for a linen cot bumper last autumn, she sent me a photo and the sketch lines came out beautifully crisp on the natural fabric. The grey thread picking up the linen weave texture underneath made it look hand-drawn, which was exactly the brief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a medium-weight tearaway stabiliser on stable woven linen or cotton canvas. Avoid hooping fleece or minky for this one because the low-density sketch lines need a firm flat base or the stitches sink into the pile and the fine detail disappears. Pick a light natural ground: cream, oatmeal, sand linen all work great. Avoid pure white because you lose the white highlight thread entirely. Try it on a natural cotton twill tote, a linen table runner, or a tea towel for a really clean woodland result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45825834516630,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/PeekingFoxMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1762582655","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/peeking-fox","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
