{"product_id":"vibrant-butterfly-heart","title":"Vibrant Butterfly Heart Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eFriend asked for something with a butterfly and a heart and I wanted it to feel bold rather than delicate, so I went with a big swallowtail sitting right on top of the heart instead of inside it. The heart is a soft watercolour-style wash underneath, blended patches of red, purple, cobalt blue and warm yellow that fade into each other with no hard edge between the colours. The butterfly on top is the opposite, crisp black satin outlines, thick and definite, wings filled in hot magenta, bright cyan, cream white panels and small gold accent sections. Nine colour stops for all of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upper wings have those classic swallowtail section marks, each panel is a separate satin fill with its own direction so the sheen shifts as you move across the wing. Lower wings have the more rounded lobe shapes with a scalloped edge at the bottom. Body is a slim vertical satin column in black with fine leg lines. The heart below uses a blended tatami that changes colour zone by zone. Its a high density file at 918 stitches per square inch so youll need a stable setup to get the black outlines sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gets used a lot for valentines stuff but honestly it works all year as a nature piece. Ive had customers use it on summer tote bags, spring jackets, birthday gifts. Someone ran a batch of 6 on matching pouches for a hen party last spring and theyre done in a single afternoon sitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack firm cutaway on everything, this is too dense for tearaway. Best on smooth white, cream or pale grey fabric where both the heart washes and the butterfly colours read clearly. Avoid busy prints or dark backgrounds. Hoop very firmly since 918 density means the fabric pulls during stitching if the tensions loose. Keep your machine at 600-700 spm on the satin sections and full speed is fine for the tatami heart fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes from 3.5 by 3.22 inches up to 7.5 by 6.88. The mid-range 5-inch is the most versatile for bags and garments. The 7.5-inch is proper pillow-front or jacket-back scale where youll want every section of the wing to read clearly. Email the shop if the black satin outline on the upper wing spreads too wide at any size and Ill suggest tension settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46351170338966,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/VibrantButterflyHeartEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776588402","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/vibrant-butterfly-heart","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
