{"product_id":"rain-cloud","title":"Beautiful Rain Cloud Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHonestly, I wasnt sure this one would stitch up as well as it does. The cloud has four or five overlapping rounded lobes, each filled with directional tatami that shifts angle slightly from one layer to the next, and that layering is what gives it the dimensional, almost 3D look. It took a bit of testing to get the underlay tension right so the navy outer edge stayed crisp against the slate teal mid-section, but its worth it. The rain streaks below are sharp satin stitches, some silver-grey, some ice-blue, angled about 70 degrees so they actually look like theyre falling fast. Realy pleased with how it came out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe density on this one runs high because of all those overlapping fill sections, so pick a firm stabiliser. Use cutaway, especially on cotton or canvas where the stitches can pull without something solid underneath. Hoop your fabric taut before you start, and if youre stitching on lighter linen or fleece, add a layer of topping to keep the tatami from sinking into the weave. At 5 inches it sits nicely centred on a kids hoodie chest or covers a denim jacket back patch, and the jump stitch count is low enough that cleanup isnt a headache after. Pair it with a plain navy or charcoal garment and the cloud reads clean, no competing colour noise. Skip dark teal backgrounds though, the slate mid-tones in the cloud just disappear against them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mum who makes weather-theme nursery sets wrote to me last week saying she stitched it at 7 inches into a linen hoop and it looked like something from a boutique kids shop. I cant argue with that. The rain stitches are textural enough that people reach out and touch them, its kind of the whole point with this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrop me a line if you cant get the colours to match mine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46431424381078,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BeautifulRainCloudEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782276933","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/rain-cloud","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
