{"product_id":"realistic-spider-2","title":"Realistic Spider Embroidery Design, Halloween Insect Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eI get messages every october asking for a spider that actually looks like a spider, not a cartoon with googly eyes, a genuinely realistic one you could put on something and make people do a double-take. Thats the brief for this file. I digitised it in digitising tools with 5 colour zones across the body, the abdomen uses a layered approach where a base charcoal fill goes down first, then the rusty-brown markings stitch over it, then the highlight ochre on top. Thats how you get that depth without having to use a photographic technique. The leg columns are narrow satin columns that taper to a point, and getting those to hold shape at the 3.5 mini size was kinda fiddly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes total, 3 in through 7.5 inches wide. Stitch count runs from 1,035 at the smallest all the way up to 37,512 at full size. Five colours. Density is 103, so this is a fairly solid fill, youre gonna want a cutaway stabiliser underneath on pretty much anything. The spread legs mean the design spans well beyond the body footprint and a tearaway can shift under the outer leg tips. Drop me a chat if you want to know how I handle hooping for a design with a spread this wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer ordered this back in march and stitched the 6-inch centre on a black hoodie back panel, she used a dark charcoal thread for the base fill so it was kinda just barely visible on the black fabric, then the brown and ochre markings popped as a contrast. That kind of monochromatic-with-highlights approach actually works for this design. Use topping on any terry or fleece surface so the underlay doesnt sink into the pile. Run the outline last after all five fill passes are complete so you get crisp clean edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch this on a black t-shirt back for halloween and youre going to get reactions. Send me a note if anything goes sideways with the file.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46352682647702,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/RealisticSpiderEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776672960","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/realistic-spider-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
