{"product_id":"snowflake-crescent-border","title":"Snowflake Crescent Border Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a sweep of snowflakes arranged in a crescent arc, curving from the top left down around to the bottom right. Not a full circle, just that open half-moon shape that leaves the centre empty. The snowflakes vary in size, largest ones in the middle of the arc and smaller ones tapering off at the tips, which gives it a natural fading-out look instead of a hard cutoff. All one colour, a clean teal that works on white, cream, grey or navy fabric depending on what shade thread you use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 sizes, all in that horizontal-wide format to suit the arc properly. Largest is 7.5 inches across and stitches at around 22,000 stitches total. Each snowflake is done with satin columns on the arms and a running-stitch outline, they're detailed enough to read individually even at the smaller sizes. Tape a medium-weight tearaway behind stable woven fabric like cotton or linen, the low density means theres not a lot of pull but you still want flat backing to keep the arc accurate across 7 inches. Hoop tight or the far ends can drift mid-stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe told me this one is her go-to monogram border, she stitches it first then adds a name in the open centre space using her machine's built-in lettering. Last christmas she made six of them as personalised gift bags and said the crescent arc was the reason they looked handmade-fancy rather than just printed-and-stuck-on. Thats actually why I made it, people wanted a snowflake frame that wasnt a full circle so they could still fit text inside without crowding. Comes out really well on ivory linen and navy fleece, totally different looks from the same design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a lighter teal thread for a subtle tonal look on white fabric, go dark navy thread for a bolder contrast effect on cream or sand. Pick the middle 6 inch size for most standard hoop machines, it gives you plenty of centre space for a 2 to 3 letter monogram. Avoid too-stiff stabiliser for jersey knit, stick to cutaway with a bit of give so the fabric doesnt pucker around the snowflake edges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46264558649494,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SnowflakeCrescentBorderEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772093368","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/snowflake-crescent-border","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
