{"product_id":"viking-gnome","title":"Viking Gnome Embroidery Design, Cute Cartoon Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe beard is basically the whole character. This little viking gnome has a chestnut-coloured beard that fans out wider than the gnome himself and a silver helmet with two curved horns sitting low over his barely-visible eyes. Its a well-proportioned cartoon design and the scale of that beard is what makes customers stop scrolling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edigitising tools handled the colour sequencing across 12 threads, and the directional satin on the beard runs in two different angles to give it a shaggy texture rather than going flat. The helmet has its own underlay pass before the silver satin layer so the surface sits smoothly. Density is 965 stitches per cm, which is comfortable for a design in this size range. Stitch counts go from 15,495 at the small 3.38-inch wide size up to 52,457 at 7.25 inches, and there are 9 sizes total. The same file set works for everything from a hat panel to a full sweatshirt chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a charcoal sweatshirt the colour contrast is particularly strong, the silver helmet reads clearly and the crimson cape pops against the dark ground. Use cutaway stabiliser on sweatshirt fleece and add a topping of water-soluble film over the nap to keep the satin work from sinking in. Stitch slowly on the larger size if your machine has variable speed. That red cape section benefits from using a bobbin colour that matches rather than contrasts, it keeps the underside looking tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer told me last christmas she uses this design on kids hoodies and adults alike for a fantasy-themed gift shop and it sells consistently. Thats the thing about this specific character style, its not just for kids, grownups who are into norse mythology or gnome decor go for it too. So dont limit yourself to childrens items when you plan your run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a name or a short phrase in a separate text stitch below the gnome if ya want a personalised version. Pick a font that matches the chunky character proportions, nothing too thin or spindly. Best placement is chest centre on a sweatshirt or upper-left on a tote bag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46371321741462,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteVikingGnomeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777963401","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/viking-gnome","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
