B-E-L-I-E-V-E, each letter with its own christmas character. The B is chunky red with a grey santa hat sitting on top. The first E holds a green diamond-pattern christmas tree with a gold star. The I is replaced by a tall teal candle. The second E has a gold snowflake. The V is actually a pair of brown reindeer antlers with white cuff bands. The last E just has a red Rudolph nose dot sitting underneath and its genuinely funny when you spot it. Seven colours, each letter decorated differently. Its a wide composition because theres a lot going on across those 7 letters and it reads like a banner more than a word.

my professional tool handled the file across 7 colour changes, density 422. At 7.51 by 2.92 inches its 9,249 stitches. Smallest size is 3.51 by 1.37 inches at 3,885 stitches. Five sizes. The stitching is a mix of satin fill letters and smaller detail work on the icons, so Back with mid-cutaway. Hoop the fabric with the grain or the wide letter shapes will pull slightly off-centre. Watch your bobbin tension on the antler section because the thin tine lines are running stitch and pull unevenly on soft fabric.

Customers have been asking for this one since last november and I always get a few dozen orders running right through to december 24th. One customer this christmas ordered 3 sizes on fleece for a matching grandmother-mother-daughter set of christmas sweatshirts. Each one reads the same word but at different scales. Thats a realy clever use. Stitch it on white, cream, or grey fabric so all 7 colours pop properly. Dark backgrounds swallow the lighter teal and gold sections.

Works great on sweatshirts, cotton tea towels, and linen cushion covers. Try the 7 inch piece placed on a christmas table runner in cream linen. Use the 4-in motif on a red velvet stocking cuff for something a bit unexpected. Skip sheer or thin fabric for the wide sizes, the dense satin letter sections need support.
