{"product_id":"realistic-horse-head","title":"Realistic Horse Head Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the most detailed horse design I make and the stitch count backs that up. At the 7-in jumbo size youre looking at 42,195 stitches across five colours, all built from long directional runs mapped along the coat grain rather than across it. The face tones start with a russet orange base layer, then a pale ivory-cream goes over the blaze and lower jaw, then a warm pale-gold fills the mid-face, and deep chocolate shading builds up the ear, nostril, and jaw line. The mane finishes last and its done in long satin columns that actually look like they move.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive colour stops total: russet orange, off-white, pale gold, dark chocolate brown, near-black. Four colour changes. The bobbin will work hard on this one, especially on the 71 trims in the 3-in hoop, so keep a spare bobbin wound and ready. Built in my standard software with each coat section digitised individually, which is why the shading reads so naturally rather than looking like a filled blob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from 3.5 inches 7.5 top end and the smallest still clocks in at 17,405 stitches, so this isnt a quick run. Heavy cutaway stabiliser is not optional here, it genuinely matters. A customer who does western rodeo gear ran the 6-in build through a thick canvas jacket last month and said it was the most suprised theyve been by how a design looked finished, compared to the preview. That kind of dense fill really does only reveal itself on the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a firm hoop tension and add water-soluble topping on lighter quilting cotton to stop the long satin runs from sinking into the weave. Stitch the eye area last if youre doing any manual re-hooping between sections. Avoid stretchy knits for this one entirely. Recieved a few questions about whether the dark brown and black are actually separate or one colour: theyre separate. The jaw shading is a proper dark chocolate and the pupil is near-pure black, and that contrast is what gives the eye its depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46226723111062,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/RealisticHorseHeadEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1770289210","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/realistic-horse-head","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
