{"product_id":"pink-flamingo","title":"Cute Pink Flamingo Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrew up this flamingo as a character more than a bird study. Shes standing on a lil green grass tuft, body all pink with these curly swirl feather details scattered across her wings and neck -not realistic feathers, more like someone drew spirals all over her. The beak is hooked and two-toned, tan on top and brown underneath, and theres a cute bow tied just above the ankles because why not. Long lashes on the blue eyes. A small aqua highlight on the wing. She looks like a flamingo who is very aware of herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilcom EmbroideryStudio routed the 10 colour sequence to minimise jumps across the curly feather swirls -thats the tricky part of this design, getting the spirals to stitch in the right order so you dont get a nest of floating threads between the loops. 9 colour changes. Colours include a lime green for the grass, olive, tan, brown, pink, white, aqua, mauve-purple, grey, and black. Stitch count is 7,898 at the smallest size and goes up to 17,937 at 7.5 x 5.29 inches across 5 files.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the spiral feather details are kinda fine at the smaller end, I wouldnt go below the 3.51-inch size on anything with texture -the curls will fill in on pile or waffle fabric. On smooth cotton or a stable woven poplin theyll come out clearly even at the small size. Use a cutaway stabiliser, the design has 40 trims at minimum and the thread tail management matters more with high-colour-change designs. Run a test hoop first on whatever fabric youre using -the grass green at the base catches a lot of thread interaction from the flamingo body layers above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer messaged me last week after running the 5-in tote version on a peach cotton tote bag for a bridal shower gift, said it got more compliments than the bag itself. I get that -the combination of the pink against a warm peach base with the curly detail is genuinely quite something. Avoid dark or busy background fabrics, the 10 colours need neutral or light base cloth to read properly. Dm me if youre unsure about thread substitutes for the aqua or the mauve -those 2 are the ones that vary most between thread brands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46316849627286,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CutePinkFlamingoEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1774778818","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/pink-flamingo","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
