{"product_id":"pencil-bow-3","title":"Pencil Bow Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat I love about this one is how the pencil IS the bow. Not a pencil next to a bow, not a pencil with a bow tied on. The whole body of the pencil bends and loops around itself into those big puffy ribbon loops, and then the two tails angle out at the bottom where you can see the peach wood and charcoal graphite tip. Thats the bit that makes people do a double take. The pink eraser and silver ferrule sit at the lower left end, and tight white directional satin lines run the full length of every section to give it that grosgrain ribbon look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch count on larger sizes goes up to about 39,000, so its a proper complex piece. The satin fills are dense and the directional stitching shifts angle across the bow loops, which means hoop placement really matters. Center it carefully and use a cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy or knit because those wide satin columns will pull on looser fabrics aswell. On a firm twill or canvas, a tearaway works fine for most of the sizes. Hoop your stabiliser and fabric together snug, no gaps, and Pop it into the machine without rushing the thread tension setup. A friend of mine who does back-to-school markets every August told me she stitched the 5-inch onto cream cotton twill totes and sold out before noon. She said the double-take reaction was what got people every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkip sheer or jersey cuts unless youre confident with topping film to keep the satin threads from sinking. Denim, canvas, and sturdy cotton are where it runs cleanest. Try the smaller 3.5 inch on a kids denim jacket pocket flap, or the 4-inch on a linen pencil case, and youll see how much the peach and coral pink pop against a darker ground. The digitising here is done with pro digitising software, so the underlay is solid and the satin columns lay flat without gaps even at the tighter bend around the knot section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessage me anytime if a colour sequence looks off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46431523897494,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/PencilBowEmbroideryDesign_6abbcfb9-5f3e-44de-8090-b2255d77d374.png?v=1782293649","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/pencil-bow-3","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
