{"product_id":"thread-spools-needle","title":"Thread Spools and Needle Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree spools grouped on a slight angle so they all read at once. The biggest one is front left, red thread wound tight round the barrel. A medium spool sits behind and to the right, teal blue-green wound the same way. Small one at the back in olive green, just peeking out. Wooden bases and tops on all 3, done in warm tan with hatched shading to show the grain and roundness of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA loose loop of bright teal thread trails from the medium spool, curves forward across the base, and leads the eye right to the needle lying flat in front. The needle is a single slim shape, steel grey, with the eye punched through near the top. Red thread from the big spool also tails out slightly, so both colours echo in the foreground. Its a still-life composition and it feels deliberate, like something youd see in a haberdashery shop window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 colours: the wood has 2 shades, then one thread colour per spool, plus the needle grey. Stitch count ranges from 11,519 on the 3.51-inch smallest up to 28,626 on the 7.5-inch, which is a substantial piece at the top end. I've had customers tell me they love having a sewing-themed design they can stitch for someone who doesnt embroider, because the spools are universally recognisable. Earlier this year a customer stitched the large size on a piece of linen and framed it for a friends sewing room and shared the picture, it looked like it belonged there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on natural linen, cream cotton or a warm ivory background. The teal and red thread fills need contrast to read, so avoid dark base fabrics. Pale wood-toned backgrounds like undyed hessian or natural canvas work well if youre after a craft-room display feel. Use a medium cut-away stabiliser on the back, 80\/12 needle, and drop top speed by about 30 percent on the wooden spool sections to keep the hatching lines clean and the shading from pulling. Pick a fresh needle for this one, the hatching work shows skipped stitches more than youd expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDm me if the spool shading doesnt resolve cleanly at the smaller sizes and Ill shift the start point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46369476477078,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ThreadSpoolsandNeedleEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777874493","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/thread-spools-needle","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
