{"product_id":"swan-group","title":"Swan Group Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres the swan group and its done in proper engraving style on cream linen vibe. Five mute swans clustered tight together, all swimming the same direction. Long curved necks lifted high, sketchy linework running through the bodies in fine little crosshatch marks. No flat fills anywhere. The whole design lives on those tiny pen-strokes which is what gives it that vintage book-plate feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeaks are warm orange with the classic black knob at the base of each one. Eyes are tiny dots, alot of expression in just one or two stitches each. Beneath the swans theres soft grey water ripples flowing outward in loose horizontal lines, sketchy aswell to match the body texture. The biggest swan sits front-left and the others fan back behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast spring I been digitising this engraving-style bird series and the directional stitching is the magic. Each swans body has its own grain. The neck strokes run vertical, the wing feathers lay diagonal back, the chest crosshatching curves around the breast. So when light hits the finished piece every swan reads separately even though theyre tucked close. Real classic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on cream linen or oatmeal cotton for best results, those soft natural backgrounds let the linework breathe. Pop it on a tea-towel set or a tote and youve got a wedding-gift-worthy piece. Skip dark fabric here. Skip white aswell. The fine crosshatch needs a warm neutral behind it or the lines just disappear into the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensest spot is the front swan body, around 96k stitches at the biggest hoop. So use a medium cutaway and a layer of water-soluble topping on linen, otherwise the fine sketch lines sink into the weave. Hoop tight and slow the machine for the crosshatch sections. Send me message if a stitch sequence comes out scrambled. Ill resend a clean file fast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45732213260438,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SwanGroupMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1760424617","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/swan-group","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
