{"product_id":"vintage-sailing-ship-compass","title":"Vintage Sailing Ship Compass Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003ePulled together this design around a woodcut-style compass rose and a galleon in full sail. The ship is the focal point, sails bellied out to the right like the wind is really behind it, and waves curl under the hull. Behind the whole composition the compass rose spreads out in that classic sunburst-spoke pattern with N, S, E and W marked at the four cardinal points. The hatching on the sails and hull gives it that old-school engraving look, like its been pressed out of a block of lino.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 sizes: smallest is 3.5 by 3.4 inches at 16292 stitches, largest is 7.5 by 7.3 inches at 35625 stitches. Density is 646, which is solid but manageable. The hatching lines on the sail panels are what make this demanding. Theyre directional columns so the underlay sequencing matters. Test it on your machine at 5 inches first to check registration before you commit the big hoop. Ive run it on heavy cotton twill and the hatching reads clearly, but on a softer woven youll want a water-soluble topping to stop the satin columns sinking. A customer last month stitched it on the front of a ships captain hat and said it looked like a proper uniform badge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch it on a jean jacket back. Use the 5-inch on a canvas tote chest panel in white thread on navy. Pop it onto a framed hoop for a nautical-themed hallway. Alot of people order it for boat bags and marine canvas projects too. The jump stitch cleanup between the compass spokes is minimal if your machine handles short travels well. Dont skip the underlay on the sail hatching or youll get registration drift on the finer lines. Heres the look that works every time: white thread on dark navy canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46029081936022,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/VintageSailingShipCompassEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1765691737","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/vintage-sailing-ship-compass","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
