{"product_id":"whale-mushroom","title":"Whale and Mushroom Embroidery Design, Whimsical Ocean Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eShe told me she wanted something for a nature-themed nursery that wasnt the usual forest animals. So last month I pointed her to the whale and mushroom design and she came back with a photo on a linen panel that genuinely looked like it belonged in a proper kids room. The blue whale body with orange mushrooms growing all over it sounds odd when you say it out loud. But the orange against the dark slate blue is the thing that makes it work visually. You dont question why theres mushrooms on a whale, you just look at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mushroom caps vary in size, bigger rounded caps near the centre of the back tapering down to smaller ones toward the fluke, with a few tiny stems tucked underneath. Six colors total, the two blues of the whale body plus the orange, black outlines, a light blue-grey for the belly plate lines and white. Tape the fabric behind the hoop before stitching, a medium-weight cutaway gives you the cleanest result on the larger 6 and 7 inch sizes. The dark blue areas are dense enough to anchor without puckering if your tension is set right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a topping on any visible-weave fabric to stop the fine orange mushroom stems from sinking into the ground cloth. Dont rush the speed on the dense blue belly sections, slow the machine down if your thread starts shredding. Stitch the 5-inch face on canvas tote front or a cushion cover, thats the most popular size. The 3.5 inch fits a front pocket panel or a patch backing cleanly. Pop the 7 inch on a denim bomber back and it becomes the main feature of the whole piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46342853755030,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/Whale_MushroomEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776309931","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/whale-mushroom","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
