{"product_id":"snail-embroidery","title":"Cute Snail Embroidery Design, Cartoon Animal Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBody is a warm yellow-olive satin fill, thick and chunky, with the foot spreading wide and flat along the bottom. Big grinning mouth sits right in the centre of the face, open and smiling like the thing is genuinely happy. And the two antenna stalks rise up from the head with small circular eye tips at the top, each one with a tiny pupil dot. Thats about as much face as a cartoon snail needs. Ive seen simpler versions of this and they dont have the same energy. Nothin subtle about it, the whole expression reads from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShell is the main event. Its this big round spiral in warm tan and golden-brown, probably the most stitch-dense part of the design at 54k stitches on the largest size. Interior uses a cross-hatch fill that catches the thread direction nicely, and darker brown lines trace the spiral grooves from the outside edge in to the tight centre curl. Outline is a heavy dark brown bean stitch that keeps the whole thing crisp even on rougher fabric. Ive seen designs like this go soft on lower-quality digitising but this ones got the interior grooves mapped properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes run from 3.5 inches across reaching 7.51, so you can fit it on a small patch or let it take up a whole front panel. Density sits at 1,401 spi here, which is proper heavy embroidery. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and dont rush the speed. Run it at about 600 SPM on dense cartoon fills like this to avoid the thread bunching at the colour changes. Fifteen colours total, which sounds like a lot but most of the swaps are shell gradients and they go quick. Float a topping layer if youre stitching onto fleece so the satin fill sits on top of the pile rather than sinking into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks best on flat-weave cotton, denim, canvas or fleece. Wouldnt put it on stretch knit without extra stabilising because the dense fill will pull the fabric in. Light backgrounds let the warm shell tones breathe. One customer sent me a photo of it stitched in cream on a dark navy tote last spring and the thick outline held every detail cleanly. Darker colours work too, the bean stitch outline does all the heavy lifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoller at the shop if a colour in the shell section looks off from the preview and Ill point you at the right thread.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46355454197910,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteSnailEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776828496","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/snail-embroidery","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
