{"product_id":"watermelon-slice-2","title":"Watermelon Slice Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheres a whole watermelon sitting at the back and a cut wedge propped up in front of it. The slice shows the full pink-to-crimson gradient of the flesh, darker red at the centre fading out to pale blush near the rind. Black seeds sit scattered in small clusters across the flesh. The rind is two-toned, forest green outer layer with a thin cream inner band. Below everything the juice has pooled out into an irregular puddle shape, fading from coral pink to almost nothing at the edges, with a few droplet dots scattered around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen colours total, which means 9 thread changes in the sequence, and my digitising suite kept the density at 695 so this one stitches out quick relative to its size. Nine sizes range from 3.5 x 2.74 inches up to 7.5 x 5.87 inches, and stitch counts go from 10,577 on the smallest right up to 30,614 on the largest. The wide-to-short aspect ratio is good for left chest placements and tote bag sides where you dont want the design too tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy favourite placement for this is the left chest of a white linen shirt. Did that one last june for a summer market and had people asking where I got it from. The red and green realise really differently against white, the juice drip especially looks great because you get all those soft blush gradient tones. Send me message if you want tips on thread brand for the flesh gradient because the original used Madeira colours and some cheaper rayon threads dont blend the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white cotton, linen, or pale canvas for best gradient read. Back it with knit-friendly cutaway behind linen because 9 colour changes and the fluid drip outline can distort on loose-weave cloth if the underlay isnt solid. Tearaway is fine on tightly woven quilting cotton. Skip stretch fabrics here, the satin fill on the rind needs a stable ground. Reach me if the thread colours in the file dont match what you expected and Ill point you to the right Madeira codes. Send a chat if the satin needs tweaking and Ill check the punch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46368431276182,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/WatermelonSliceEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777715361","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/watermelon-slice-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
