{"product_id":"red-lips-hearts","title":"Red Lips with Hearts Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed lips on white or cream fabric, built entirely from small individual hearts fitted together. From a normal viewing distance it just reads as a pair of full lips, get close and you see each segment is its own little heart stitched at a different angle to its neighbours so there are no flat dead zones. Then off to the left side a scatter of smaller hearts floats loose, like the lips just exhaled them, some barely thumbnail-sized and some a bit bigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne colour only, every stitch is the same red thread, and yet it doesnt feel flat. The fill direction on each heart segment shifts enough that the light catches differently across the surface, giving the lips that puffy dimensional look without needing any shading thread at all. Its a clever use of fill angle to do work that people usually use multiple colours for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity sits at 913 stitches per square inch, which is high. At the biggest size, 3.68 by 7.51 inches, youre looking at just over 25k stitches in a single thread colour with no stops. Slow your machine down 15 to 20 percent and use a medium-weight cutaway on any stretch base fabric. On stable woven cotton a firm tearaway works fine. Skip the topping unless your fabric has a heavy pile, since single colour means any topping residue shows up more than usual after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople put this on Valentine tote bags, lingerie pouches, makeup bags, tees and sweaters for February. Buyers keep coming back to this one around Valentines, last year one customer stitched twelve of the small version on individual felt hearts and sewed them into a garland for a shop window display. Works on black, white, cream, blush pink, or deep navy. Red-on-red sounds wrong but match a darker or lighter red to the base and it creates a tonal effect thats actually great. Dm the shop if the segment fills overlap at the join lines and Ill shift the start point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46269470703766,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/RedLipswithHeartsEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772433702","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/red-lips-hearts","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
