{"product_id":"pilgrim-turkey","title":"Pilgrim Turkey Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlot of thanksgiving turkey designs are just the bird on its own, but the buckled costume detail here is what makes it genuinely specific to the holiday, it tells the whole story in one small image. Ten colours, 15,145 stitches, density 235, in 2.85 by 3.5 inches. The density is on the higher side for the size which is what keeps all ten colour sections reading distinctly at the small scale, the black hat stays black and the white collar stays white without those colours bleeding into each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI digitised the tail feather fan in sections, each feather segment using a satin fill in its own colour direction so they layer naturally. One customer wrote me back last october saying she recieved the file and immediately knew it was gonna work for her thanksgiving tablecloth project, she did a repeat of this turkey figure down both long edges and said the table looked incredible. Use cutaway stabiliser on any stretch fabric. Tearaway on cotton or linen canvas. The collar area uses a tight satin so make sure your hooping is snug or the white sections will shift slightly on the first pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn natural linen the warm thanksgiving colour palette looks absolutely right, the oranges and browns feel like fall without being forced. Use a ballpoint needle on knits and a sharp needle on wovens. The density of 235 handles well but a fresh needle helps with the tight satin in the hat area. Stitch the hat and collar sections after the feather fan is complete so the overlay sits clean on top of the base fills. Repeat placements at even spacing on a table runner or tablecloth border give a really consistent traditional thanksgiving look. Add a wash-in stiffener on linen before hooping to help the satin fills sit flat on the first stitch pass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46411963302038,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/PilgrimTurkeyEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780464452","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/pilgrim-turkey","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
