{"product_id":"pirate-skull-compass","title":"Pirate Skull Compass Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003ePulled this compass design together with a pirate skull sitting dead centre. The compass rose has all the usual N\/S\/E\/W directional points plus the angled inter-cardinal ones visible in the ring, and the skull itself wears a bandana, has those hollow socket eyes, crossed cutlass swords coming out at the 3 and 9 oclock positions. Single black thread, lots going on, it reads super detailed even in the wallet-sized version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 sizes, 20,935 stitches at the smallest 5 inch up to 34,539 stitches at the 8 inch, so its a moderately heavy stitch count and the bobbin thread usage is gonna be higher than a simple icon. Use cutaway stabiliser, dont mess about with tearaway on this one. There are 129 trims in the 5 inch version which is a lil on the high side but the jump stitch management in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio keeps them organised so the back looks tidy. The skull crossbones area has the densest concentration so keep your tension consistent through that section. A customer last week ordered this for a sea-themed escape room business putting it on staff shirts and honestly it makes alot of sense for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks best on navy, black, white or khaki fabrics. Navy or black shirts make the design almost disappear then jump out, which is a great effect. On white or off-white the detail in the compass ring reads the clearest. Skip white topping on this one because the open line work in the skull doesnt need it, let the satin speak for itself. Pair with a firm stabiliser and stitch slow through the inner ring where the fine directional lines are, thats where most of the detail lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45868721602710,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/PirateSkullCompassMachineEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1764051867","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/pirate-skull-compass","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
