{"product_id":"santa-sleigh-reindeer-2","title":"Santa Sleigh and Reindeer Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBack in december I had a customer who wanted this exact image on a set of christmas pajama pants and I'll be honest I was a bit worried about the 3.5 inch wide horizontal placement on knit fabric, but she used good cutaway stabiliser and it came out perfect. Fourteen colours in 11,220 stitches at a density of 193, its a wide, landscape-format scene so it suits horizontal fabric panels, cuffs, borders, and pocket placements much better than square items. The horizontal reach of the reindeer line is what makes it feel like a real christmas sky scene rather than something cramped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reindeer are the most colour-dense part, brown bodies, darker legs and hoof detail, and harness accents all stacked in a small area at the left of the composition. I digitised those sections with directional underlay so the fills dont flatten, but use topping on any pile fabric over the reindeer area to keep the leg and hoof lines crisp. The sleigh red is a clean satin fill that should match well with standard christmas red thread. Avoid mixing warm-red and cool-red threads across the Santa suit and sleigh, keep them the same spool for colour consistency. Use cutaway stabiliser on stretch fabrics without question at this stitch count. Don't rush the reindeer section of the stitch run, the density's moderate but its a busy area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair this on a deep navy or dark green background for that classic christmas card night-sky look, the reds and golds really sing against dark fabric. On cream or white fabric it reads more like a vintage christmas illustration. The horizontal format also works really well repeated in a border strip along a table runner or a stocking top cuff edge. Great on fabric that washes regularly, the density's holds shape well over time with proper cutaway backing on stretch items.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46411965104278,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SantaSleighandReindeerEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780464984","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/santa-sleigh-reindeer-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
