{"product_id":"strawberry-donut","title":"Strawberry Donut Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt nearly 50,000 stitches at the top size, this one pushed my pro digitising software harder than most dessert designs I've done. The density sits at 1015 and theres a lot going on: the donut body is tatami fill with directional rows that give it that baked-dough texture, the dripping glaze uses satin columns that curve and taper as the icing rolls down the sides, and the strawberry on top has its own separate underlay layer so the seed dots pop cleanly against the coral satin beneath them. Five sizes total, running from 3.51 x 3.06 inches right up to 7.51 x 6.56 inches, with stitch counts between 18,902 and 49,996.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe look itself is bold cartoon all the way. Thick black outlines wrap everything, and the colour palette is coral-red for the glaze, a warm golden-tan for the donut, cream-white where the icing catches highlight, and leaf-green for the strawberry top. It doesnt try to be realistic, its meant to look like something off a retro dessert menu poster, and that comic-book energy is exactly what makes it read so well on fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA baker I been in contact with sent me a note last week about her market stall apron in canvas twill, and she hooped it at the 5.51-inch size because she wanted it visible from a few feet away at her stand. Canvas held it beautifully with a cutaway stabiliser underneath. On stretchy jersey or knit fabrics youd want cutaway too, dont skip it at these stitch counts or youll get pull on the donut edges. Linen and denim are the other two that work really well here, both handle the density without buckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strawberry glaze section is where most machines get a workout. Use a topping of water-soluble stabiliser if youre going onto terry or fleece to stop the loops catching in the needle holes. Center the design carefully before hooping because the composition sits a bit heavy on top due to the strawberry, and if your hoop placement is off even half an inch it reads unbalanced. Pop it on a thick cotton tote and it looks like a proper printed patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with a simple text design below if you run a bakery or cafe and want branded merch. Pick white or cream thread for the bobbin when stitching the glaze section so any bleed-through on light fabrics stays invisible. Skip polyester on the red fill sections if you can, cotton gives you that slight matte finish that makes the cartoon style land better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReach out if the trims run long on your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46428595028118,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/StrawberryDonutEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1781925802","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/strawberry-donut","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
