{"product_id":"school-supplies-cup-apple","title":"School Supplies Cup with Apple Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a pencil cup scene and its got that cheerful hand-drawn illustration thing going on. The cup is a tall cylinder in pale aqua with directional satin fill that makes the sides look curved and shiny. Sticking out the top are about five or six coloured pencils at different heights and angles, colours ranging from sandy tan and orange through to a bright turquoise one and a dark red one. And then theres a yellow ruler angled out to one side, the kind with tick marks running up it, which really ties the whole school supplies theme together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSitting in front of the cup, nudged just off to the right, is a round red apple. Full red satin fill with a dark red shadow section on one side to give it depth. Little brown stem at the top, leaf implied by the shape. Its the detail that makes the whole composition read as teacher gift rather than just art supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black outlines are what hold this together visually. Thick, consistent, they work like the outlines in a colouring book and stop the 10 colours from looking chaotic. The underlay has to be solid on the cup body otherwise the aqua directional fill wont sit flat, so hoop firmly and use a dense cutaway backing on the base fabric. At the biggest size youre looking at nearly 33k stitches and nine colour changes, so take your time with the bobbin thread tension on the apple section where the satin density is highest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on white or pale grey fabric where the aqua and red really pop. Doesnt work as well on dark base fabric because the outlines blend in and you lose the illustration effect. Stitch it on smooth cotton or polyester blend for the cleanest satin on the cup walls. Avoid knits and fleece, the outline definition will go soft and the whole thing will look blurry. Back to school season last year a customer stitched it on white canvas totes for a whole class of year three kids and sent the result, looked like a proper printed tote but better because you could see the thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend me a note if anything isnt right with the files and Ill get you sorted same day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46184965537942,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SchoolSuppliesCupwithAppleEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1768643086","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/school-supplies-cup-apple","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
