{"product_id":"raven-quote","title":"Raven Quote Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack canvas tote is where I'd start with this one. The raven sits dead centre in a circular badge, perched on a bare branch, crescent moon arching behind him, two tulip stems flanking either side and a loose leaf sprig wrapping the bottom. Above him in arched block letters runs the Poe quote \"without the dark we never see the stars\" and at the bottom \"-Edgar Allan Poe\" in smaller caps with two dots either side. Stitch it at 5 inches on natural cotton and it honestly looks like something from a proper gothic gift shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dense tatami fill on the raven's body is doing alot of the work here. There are directional satin lines running through the feathers so you actually get that layered, inky look once its stitched out. The tulip outlines and text all run in the same black and charcoal palette so nothing feels out of place. On denim it gets this really satisfying depth because the weave shows a little through the fill. Its one of those designs where the fabric colour and choice changes the whole vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoop on a cutaway stabiliser for jersey or any stretch fabric. Woven canvas and twill can use tearaway, but dont skip the underlay or the fine satin lettering will gap and look raggedy. For fleece and terry, use a water-soluble topping so the text stays sharp and the jump stitch areas dont sink into the pile. Iron from the back once its off the hoop to flatten the bobbin thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA woman who runs a gothic jewellery stall at craft fairs messaged me last week about putting this on linen pouches she sells alongside her pieces. That line resonates with alot of bird lovers and wildlife fans, not just gothic folks, which means this sells to a wider crowd than you'd expect. Its not just for Halloween, thats for sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the 3.35-inch on a chest pocket where you want something subtle rather than statement. Pop it onto a black twill patch first if you want a removable version you can move between bags. Pick a medium-weight cutaway on anything knit, and centre the badge carefully because the circular composition looks off-balance if its even a centimetre crooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePing me if the jump stitches bug you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46428677603478,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/RavenQuoteEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1781954960","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/raven-quote","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
