{"product_id":"snowflake-embroidery-2","title":"Snowflake Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a single-colour snowflake and single colour is the whole challenge with snowflakes. All the detail has to come from the geometry and the stitching structure itself, not from colour contrast. This one has six main radiating arms with branching side points, and the inner area is an open crosshatch lattice rather than a solid fill. That openwork centre is what makes it look lace-like rather than just a flat star shape. Theres alot of directional underlay work in the branching sections to keep the outer arms lying flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity is set at 625 which is high, but you need that on a geometric design where thin lines are doing the structural work. At 4.99 inches its running 15,606 stitches. The 2-inch version is only 5,919 stitches and still holds the lattice detail because professional digitising software handled the scaling well on this one, they didnt just shrink the path, the underlay was redigitised per size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI honestly wasnt sure the 2-inch size would hold up this well when I first ran a test stitch. Suprised me. One customer stitched a row of them in a 2-inch size along a baby blanket border last winter and they came out crisp on the fleece with a proper topping layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack it with soft cutaway behind. This is the kind of design where a flimsy tearaway lets things shift mid-stitch and the symmetry falls apart. Topping is important on fleece or any pile fabric because the crosshatch sections will sink without it. Use a sharp needle if youre on anything densely woven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch it on navy, dark blue, or forest green for classic winter colouring. White or silver thread on dark backgrounds is the obvious placement and it genuinely works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45918213603478,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SnowflakeMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764829505","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/snowflake-embroidery-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
