{"product_id":"spring-gnome-flowers-butterfly","title":"Spring Gnome with Flowers and Butterfly Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gnome is only visible from the chest up, almost like hes poking his head out from a garden border. Big fluffy white beard, a tall sky blue pointy hat, and this sweet little face barely visible above the flowers. Right above him theres a red butterfly with blue accent wings, just hovering there like it landed on cue. The whole base is packed with red blooms, yellow flowers, green stems and leaves, a few pink accents, so it reads as a proper spring garden bursting with colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine colours and 8 colour changes at the 3-inch size, so theres real layering happening here. the digitising software digitised each element separately. The dark green foliage goes in first and anchors the composition, then the yellow and red flowers build up through the middle, and the gnomes blue hat and white beard come in last so they sit right on top and pop. At seven inches youre pushing nearly 40k stitches, so every detail including the little brown face peeking through really shows up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer needed the 5-inch run for a spring tea towel set she was making as gifts last Easter and said the colours came out brighter than she expected on white linen. Thats kind of the thing with this design, its so fully filled that even on a small size it doesnt lose the reading. The beard especially stitches up fluffy rather than flat, which I think is what makes gnome designs worth the colour changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on pale fabrics. White, cream, soft yellow cotton all work well. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser because nine colours means nine tension points and you dont want any shifting. A crisp hoop lock before you start makes a difference on the flower section, the satin stitches in the petals are directional and they pucker on loose backing. Skip the tear-away topping on fleece and use a water-soluble topper instead so those fills dont sink into the pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll 5 sizes come in the download. Pop it into your software and test a 3-inch first before committing to the large run. Message me if anything looks wrong and Ill fix it fast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46159332933782,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SpringGnomewithFlowersandButterflyEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1768042618","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/spring-gnome-flowers-butterfly","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
