{"product_id":"tennis-gnome","title":"Tennis Gnome Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gnome is squat and round, basically just a hat and a beard with two tiny arms sticking out holding sports equipment. The tall pointy hat is slate blue with scattered white dot accents and the directional stitching follows the hat taper so its got a real dimensional look. Orange nose dead centre. The beard flows all the way down past where his body should be, white with long fine stitching lines that give it alot of texture. In his left hand theres a wooden-framed tennis racket with grid fill detail and in the right hand a bright green ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven colours, 6 changes, comes in at just under 32k stitches on the big 7.51-inch version and about 12,467 on the smallest. The tennis club people who order this one like that the stitch count stays manageable so it doesnt pull on lightweight canvas bags. I been getting requests from tennis mums for this one since last summer for junior tournament gift bags. One customer sent me a photo of six matching totes she made for her daughters club finals day, and honestly they looked brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white, cream or light grey cotton for max contrast. The slate blue hat needs a pale background or ya lose the white dot detail on top. Pop the 4-inch on a towel corner for a court-side set. Use the 7-inch on a canvas tote or a zipper pouch for a tennis coach gift. Skip dark fabrics because the white beard just merges, its a design that really needs that pale-ground contrast to read properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse tearaway stabiliser on firm woven cotton or canvas. Cutaway if youre doing a fleece-lined bag or a stretch item. The beard section has the most density per square inch so hoop tight and slow the machine down when it gets there. professional tools did a nice job on the satin column outlines on the racket frame, dont rush that section or the corners go wobbly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46368199344278,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/TennisGnomeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777694137","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/tennis-gnome","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
