{"product_id":"skull-snail","title":"Skull Snail Embroidery Design, Gothic Halloween Floral Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrew up this skull snail one autumn afternoon when I was knee deep in halloween orders and wanted somethin a bit weirder than the usual pumpkin and bat stuff. Honestly its grown on me. The skull sits sideways like the head of the snail, slot in next to the coiled shell, and a yellow daisy plus a smaller pink bloom poke out near the top rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour work is what really sells it. The shell is dusty pink with a darker coral spiral, the snails body is a mossy slate blue with that dotted texture you see on garden snails, and the skull stays ivory bone white with heavy black line shading. Eight thread colours total, lots of cross hatching detail under the fills so the whole thing reads like an old natural history sketch rather than a cartoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest stitches on cotton, linen, denim or canvas in plain colours. Cream, sage or charcoal grounds let the floral bits and the shell colour really sing. I would skip busy patterns since theres alot going on in the design itself. My customer who runs a small witchy candle shop ordered four different stitched out versions last halloween to use on her tote bag merch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes from 4.4 inches wide up to 8.3 inches, smallest is around 30k stitches and largest hits 63k. Use midweight cutaway since the dense black skull and shell sections pull the fabric a fair amount. Slow the machine on the colour change between the shell coral and the snail blue if your bobbin tension feels off, that section has the longest unbroken satin run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePing me if any file gives you grief and ill swap it out the same day. Drop a chat message if the punch needs tweaking and Ill update it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46406806339734,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SkullSnailEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780393230","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/skull-snail","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
