{"product_id":"valentine-gnome-heart-balloon","title":"Valentine Gnome with Heart Balloon Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eMocked up this lil gnome fella after customers kept asking for something whimsical and cute rather than the usual hearts-and-script valentine designs. Hes wearing a full red outfit with tiny white hearts on the fabric, holding a big red heart balloon by a string. The beard is white and fluffy, the nose is a peach blush circle, and his boots are black. Theres something about the slight lean of the figure that makes him look like the balloon is pulling him upward, which is what people keep commenting on when they post their finishes online last february.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 colours in the file: red for the garment and balloon fill, a light peach for the blush cheeks, white for the beard and those lil heart details on the outfit, and black for the boots and outline work. digitising tools did the colour sequence so the 4 stops land in a logical order with minimal jump threads showing on the front. Density sits at 402, which is lighter than most decorative designs, so it stitches out fast and doesnt stiffen the fabric underneath. Pick a 75\/11 needle and youre good to go on knit or fleece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 sizes from 2.35 inches up to about 5 inches wide. Use tearaway for woven cotton and cutaway if youre on knit or stretch. The figure is taller than it is wide so check your hoop clearance, the 5-inch size needs at least a 5x7 hoop for the full height. Email me if you want to confirm clearance numbers before you load the file. Best stitch out Ive seen was a customer who hooped the 4-inch on a thick terry towel last valentines, used polyfilm on plush terry, the gnome came out clean and the beard had real definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop the small size on a kids shirt pocket and it just looks right. Stitch the larger hoop on a fleece zip-up and the gnome sits perfectly in the centre chest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46273540259990,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ValentineGnomewithHeartBalloonEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772595614","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/valentine-gnome-heart-balloon","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
