{"product_id":"vintage-bow","title":"Vintage Bow Embroidery Design, Engraving Style Ribbon Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of bow you'd find on a vintage perfume bottle label or an old department store gift box. Not the flat silhouette type, and not the shiny satin cartoon type either. This one is drawn like an engraving, with the ribbon volume and shadow built entirely from parallel line shading and cross-hatching in black thread over a cream base fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo looped ears fan out to either side of the central knot, and two long tails drop down and curl slightly outward at the ends. The knot itself is tight with several wrinkles radiating from the centre, all picked out in fine black linework. Theres no flat fill doing the work here, the dimension comes purely from the stitch direction and the density of those line clusters. 2 colours, 1 colour change, very clean to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch count sits between 14,228 and 39,771 across the 9 sizes. Use a light tearaway on mid-range sizes on cotton and itll sit cleanly. Go slower on the larger sizes and firm up your hooping so the parallel line sections dont pull sideways during the run. Skip stretchy knit on the bigger sizes entirely, the dense linework needs a stable woven base to sit flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast spring one customer stitched the 4-in placement on a navy silk-feel blouse collar and it genuinely looked like a fashion label detail. Cream bow on cream fabric wont read well, obviously, but cream on navy, forest green, dusty rose or charcoal is where this design looks special. Skip anything too light for the base if you want the linework to show up. Message me if you want tips on thread tension for the fine line sections and Ill help you dial it in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46376184840342,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/VintageBowEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778148302","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/vintage-bow","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
