{"product_id":"santa-moon-merry-christmas","title":"Santa Moon Merry Christmas Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheres something about the moon-and-santa combination that always makes christmas projects feel a little more special than just a regular santa face, its got that night-sky, classic christmas-eve storybook quality. Eleven colours in 16,087 stitches at a density of 247 in a 2.88 by 3.5 inch footprint, its not the biggest design but its very dense for the size, which means the detail in santas face and fur trim actually reads at this scale without blurring out. I digitised it with underlay on all the face areas specifically so the flesh-tone satin doesnt tunnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had a customer write me last december who stitched this on a set of christmas stocking cuffs and said the fur trim detail came out looking actually clean even on the velvet fabric she used, and velvet is notoriously tricky. She used topping over the face and hat area which I'd always recommend on any pile fabric for a design this detailed. Water-soluble topping, not film, so it rinses out clean. Use cutaway stabiliser underneath on stretch fabrics or velvet because the stitch count will drag light tearaway loose mid-run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText me if any of the eleven colour stops are confusing in your machine's software, I've had a few customers find the skin tone stops are close to the cream moon tone depending on how their software renders the colour preview. The file itself is correct, its just a display thing. Pair this on navy or deep green fabric for that christmas night-sky feel, the warm reds and cream pop beautifully against dark backgrounds. Avoid thin jersey without a proper heavyweight cutaway underneath, the density will distort the moon outline if the base isnt held flat. Pick a dark background and this one genuinely looks like a christmas card brought to fabric. Text me through the shop contact if you want a daytime colour variant of this design and Ill prep the file.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46411978702998,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SantaMoonMerryChristmasEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780468888","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/santa-moon-merry-christmas","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
