{"product_id":"sailing-boat-ocean-wave","title":"Sailing Boat Ocean Wave Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe whole scene fits inside a loose circular boundary, which gives it that vintage badge feel without using an actual border ring. Dead centre at the water line sits the sailboat, just a clean black silhouette with one tall main sail and a jib, hull reflected in the water below as a short dark mirror shape. Behind it a massive wave curls upward and to the left in that classic breaking-swell arc. The wave is built from layered fills in deep blue, cobalt and teal, with white foam lines running along the crest and a few white splash marks at the base where it hits the calmer water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove the wave a bank of clouds billows in the upper arc of the circle, white and greige, heavy enough to add drama but not so dark that they flatten the sky. Right at the horizon behind the mast, a round yellow-lime sun disc sits low and bright, the only warm colour in the whole design, so it pulls your eye immediately. Seven colours altogether, and theyre layered so the depth reads even on the smallest size. Its the kind of nautical illustration that doesnt look mass-produced, and thats why I keep selling it to sailing clubs and maritime gift makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from 3.5 by 3.41 inches up to 7.5 by 7.31 inches, five options, and stitch counts go from 15k to 48k. Dense at 883 stitches per square inch on the larger sizes, so use a firm medium cutaway on wovens. For denim or canvas the cutaway handles it fine, for knit fabric add a light topping so the circular edge stays crisp. Hoop tight, this one has a lot of directional fill changes and a loose hoop will show registration drift on those wave layers. Dont rush the satin wave sections either, run at a steady 650 SPM and let the fills settle clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDark navy, charcoal, black or deep forest green fabric backgrounds make this one sing. The white wave foam and clouds pop hard against dark grounds, and the yellow sun reads like a beacon. On white or pale fabric it still works but youre losing some of that drama. One customer ordered it last summer for her sailing club end-of-season prize jackets. She told me ya wouldnt believe how fast they went, every member wanted one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick your size based on placement. Five options gives you enough range to go from a cap patch up to a full pillow centrepiece, and the circular framing keeps it self-contained so placement decisions are pretty forgiving. Use dark fabric when you can, it makes the most of the white foam and that yellow sun.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46329830768790,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SailingBoatOceanWaveEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1775534882","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/sailing-boat-ocean-wave","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
