{"product_id":"shih-tzu-dog-face","title":"Shih Tzu Dog Face Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe shih tzu face is all about the fur and this one gets it right. Long strands radiating outward from the flat centre face, the tan and honey panels on top, grey-black outer fur going in every direction, white muzzle beard underneath. 7 colours and each one is doing a specific job to separate the fur zones and keep the face readable at any size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this tricky to digitise well is the directional underlay. The satin layers have to follow actual fur growth or the whole thing looks like a blob. professional embroidery software handled the density mapping and each colour zone has its own stitch angle, so on fabric you can see individual strand directions just like you can on the real dog. 9 sizes from 2.38 to 5.1 inches, so you can go detailed on a shirt pocket or scale up big on a tote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd yes the eyes are small but they stitch clean. The black satin iris area is tight and the underlay keeps the white highlight visible even at 2.38 inches. Last month a customer wrote me saying she was nervous about the tiny eye detail and then sent a photo of her finished piece and it was absolutely perfect. Ive noticed that kind of worry comes up alot with portrait designs, but the digitising handles it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair a dense cutaway with stretch or knit fabric. On woven cotton or denim go with medium cutaway and it holds fine. Hoop tight, keep grain straight. Add a light topping on any loop-pile or textured fabric so the fur outline stitches dont sink. Skip tear-away on this one, the fur density is too high and it wont pull clean. Ping me if youre unsure about sizing for a specific project and Ill resolve it fast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45838157349014,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ShihTzuDogFaceMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763028253","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/shih-tzu-dog-face","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
