{"product_id":"valentine-gnome","title":"Valentine Gnome Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gnome hat here is so big it takes over basically the whole upper half of the design, thats what makes this one work, its got that funny lopsided charm where the hat is clearly too large for whoever is wearing it. Underneath the giant red floppy hat is a massive fluffy white beard, and below that just barely poking out are two little stumpy boots. The gnome is holding a red heart out front, both tiny arms wrapped around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive colors and a density of 956 on the largest size, which puts this at just under 44,000 stitches for the full 7-in. The hat uses dense tatami fill to get that solid red look, the beard is done in a light fluffy satin that creates the texture, and its the beard that people always comment on first when they see it stitched up. Dense design, youll need a good stabiliser setup, cutaway is my recommendation regardless of fabric type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGnomes have been popular on valentine designs for a few years now and I keep getting asked do I have one, so I made this, it fills a gap. One customer emailed me last valentines to say she stitched the 6-in piece on a sweatshirt for her mum who collects gnomes, her mum keeps the shirt in her closet year round. Thats the kind of thing I love hearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks best on mid-weight cotton fleece or sweatshirt material where the dense stitching can sink in properly. Skip thin quilting cotton for the larger sizes. Keep your fabric hooped tight, dont let it shift during the hat section or the fills wont line up. Stitch on cream, navy, grey or white for the best colour contrast against the red hat and white beard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmail me if you need help with the file and I'll sort you out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46284284657814,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AdorableValentineGnomeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1773049224","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/valentine-gnome","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
