{"product_id":"valentine-gnome-heart-lock","title":"Valentine Gnome with Heart Lock Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSketched out this gnome concept when I was working through a batch of lock-and-key ideas for valentines. The combination of the pink heart padlock and the gnome holding the matching gold key is kind of an obvious pairing once you see it, but I havent come across many digitised versions that work well at smaller hoop sizes, most lose the key detail below 4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts 9 thread colours, the striped hot-pink hat alone uses 3 of those shades. Stitch count is 15,682 at the smallest up to 40,125 at the 7.07 inch height. Back with polymesh on any stretch fabric, the gnome body has some dense fill areas that can distort knit without solid stabiliser underneath. The gold key thread is a metallic-adjacent colour so if you use an actual metallic thread there, slow the machine to about 400 spm on those passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople have been buying this one for valentines day gift bags and cushion covers. One customer ordered a set for a gnome-themed nursery where the mum had collected gnomes through the pregnancy, the key and lock concept made sense in that context too. The arrow through the hat adds a little Cupid nod without it being too obvious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run 3.51 to 7.51 inches wide. Use a 80\/12 needle for the denser fill passes. Pop it on a fleece blanket or a quilted zip pouch. Its a solid seasonal gift item, and honestly its one of those gnome designs that doesnt look like it came off a bulk clip art site.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46280090878102,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ValentineGnomewithHeartLockEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772865373","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/valentine-gnome-heart-lock","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
