{"product_id":"skateboarding-astronaut","title":"Skateboarding Astronaut Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a full astronaut in a chunky space suit, crouched low on a skateboard like hes mid-kickflip. The suit is this neon lime green with teal and white on the helmet visor, and behind the whole figure theres a sweeping rainbow arc that goes from deep orange down through red and yellow. Skate wheels are orange. Black background makes every colour hit hard. Its loud on purpose and I love that about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine colours total means theres alot going on thread-wise, but the digitising in digitising tools keeps each zone clean. Directional stitching on the suit sections gives the fabric panels that 3-dimensional rounded look you want on a bulky astronaut suit. That visor section is the trickiest part, layered satin stitches at different angles so it reads like a curved reflective surface. Density runs high, around 131k stitches on the biggest 10-inch size, so plan for that bobbin count.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly 3 sizes on this one, all large: 8-inch, 9-inch, 10-inch roughly. Thats intentional because small versions of a design this detailed just turn into a muddy mess. I had a customer who teaches a youth skate club come back last spring saying her kids went absolutely wild when she put the 8-inch version on their uniform hoodies. That reaction is exactly what this design is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on dark fabric only, black or very deep navy. Light backgrounds completely kill the drama and the neon palette just disappears. Skip fleece and anything with a heavy pile, the fine satin details in the helmet area wont sit right. Use woven poly-cotton blend or a firm knit with a cutaway stabiliser underneath. On jersey fabric add a topping layer before you hoop to stop stitches sinking into the weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop it on the back of a jacket, centred on a baseball cap crown, or across a large tote. The rainbow arc frames the whole composition so it works as a standalone chest patch aswell. And keep underlay tension tight or the neon green fill will look patchy rather than solid. Holler if the file gives you any trouble and ill get a replacement sorted same day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46167533977750,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SkateboardingAstronautEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1768192808","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/skateboarding-astronaut","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
