{"product_id":"realistic-strawberry-bunch","title":"Realistic Strawberry Bunch Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eGotta say this is one of my favorite fruit designs in the catalogue. Four ripe strawberries clustered up tight, slightly overlapping so the bunch has real depth front to back. The biggest berry sits front and centre, two more lurk behind it, one peeking out the side. Every fruit has its own seed pattern stitched in fine black thread, with green leafy stems sitting up top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shading is what sells it. Red satin fills lay down first then black hatching runs over the top in directional lines that follow the round of each berry. So instead of flat red blobs you get actual three-dimensional fruit. Underneath the bunch theres a long horizontal ink-hatched shadow that grounds the whole still life on the fabric. Pretty pretty clever touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree colours total which is unreal for a design that reads this rich. Sage green for the leaf stems, tomato red for the berry fills, jet black for seeds and shadow lines. Everything else is just smart density layering by whoever was digitising it. Trim count runs high though, around 140 to 150 trims because of all that intricate seed and shadow work, so a clean cutting machine is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on natural cotton, linen or duck canvas. Cream, white, oat, butter yellow or pale sage all give the red room to breathe. Last sunday a customer pinged me about the 4 inch hoop, kinda needed it for some jam-jar gift labels she was hand-sewing onto cotton tags and theyve come out gorgeous. Skip dark navy or brown fabric, the red goes flat without a colour underlay. Skip stretchy knits aswell, theres too much hatching detail for jersey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse heavy cutaway under woven cotton, double layer beneath linen. Hoop snug, drop the speed to about 600 spm so the fine black hatching doesnt skip. Test on a scrap first ahead of the real run since each berry needs clean trims between the seed marks or youll get loose threads sitting on top of the red satin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45768321335446,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/RealisticStrawberryBunchMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1761473761","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/realistic-strawberry-bunch","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
