{"product_id":"sunflower-harvest","title":"Sunflower Harvest Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eOctober is when this one gets pulled out the most. Craft fair season, Thanksgiving prep, that whole run where people want something that just reads \"autumn\" without being a pumpkin. This is a full harvest spray, not just a lone flower. Big open sunflower anchoring the bottom, with wide bright-yellow satin petals that lay flat and smooth. The centre is this deep amber and dark brown tatami fill, kinda just textured enough to look like the real seed disc up close. Above it everything fans upward. A golden wheat stalk in the middle, a dusky rose one off to the left, oval leaves in cream, burnt orange, and amber on long thin branching stems. Its a lot of design in one file and I dont think itll feel cluttered once its stitched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe density sits at 601 stitches per square centimetre, so those satin petal fills come out smooth on tightly woven fabrics. I use directional underlay under the large petals so theres no thread drift when you hoop denim or canvas twill. The largest version at 5.42 inches wide hits around 24,421 stitches total, so cutaway stabiliser is what you want, not tearaway. The 2.53 inch version is alot gentler at 9,867 stitches and works fine on lighter things like cream linen or cotton napkins. Youll need proper stabiliser either way, dont skip it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vendor I sell through regularly put this on a set of natural linen napkins last year alongside her autumn preserves. She said customers kept picking the napkins up first before anything else on the table. Stitch it on charcoal cotton and those bright yellow petals stand out sharp against the ground. Try it on terracotta canvas for a warmer earthy tone, or put it on navy denim and the cream leaves give this subtle contrast that reads a bit premium without being fussy. Im genuinely suprised how versatile the colour palette is across different base fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoop with generous margin on the top edge especially because the wheat tips and upper leaf branches extend quite high and you dont want them crowding the hoop frame. Use water-soluble topping on any textured or looped fabric so the fine satin lines on the wheat stalks stitch cleanly. Skip direct pressing on the tatami centre after stitching. Bobbin tension is snug there and heavy pressing flattens that raised disc texture more than you want. The 3.5 inch version sits nicely on fleece or a zipper pouch front without crowding the seam area. Centre it with a few centimetres of clearance all round and its good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHit me up and I can lighten the underlay for knits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46429223059606,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SunflowerHarvestEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782102379","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/sunflower-harvest","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
