Christmas Goose Quartet Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the christmas goose quartet, four cheeky white geese standing in a row each in a different christmas hat. Goose 1 has a red santa hat with a green holly leaf, goose 2 wears a black top hat with red band like a victorian carol singer, goose 3 wears a red and orange striped santa hat plus a green scarf, and goose 4 has the classic floppy red bobble cap with green scarf. A string of magenta yellow and green christmas bulb lights drapes across the front pair, orange beaks and webbed feet planted firm. Real fun cheeky farm-christmas energy.

9 colours total, alot of swaps but the result is worth it. Dark green, white feathers, grey shadow, dark magenta, green, orange, red, yellow, plus black for outlines. Stitches run 20,114 at the smallest 2.68 by 3.51 inch up to 49,059 at the biggest 5.72 inch wide version. Density at 1142 which is heavy fill, so cutaway stabiliser is mandatory underneath. Built it in industry-grade software and Ive flowed the satin angle along the feather body fills so each goose reads as soft not blocky. Heres the secret though, the outline detail on the bulbs is what sells it.

I get messages alot from country kitchen folk asking about this one. A customer ordered the 5 inch size last christmas for a batch of cream cotton kitchen aprons, said she sold 12 at the holiday craft fair. The 4 inch size also fits onto a sweatshirt chest or a tote bag without crowding the layout, the geese spread horizontally so it looks right.

Best on flat cotton, twill, canvas, or felt where the heavy fill can sit clean. And use heavy cutaway stabiliser, the 9 colours mean alot of fabric stress through the run. Skip thin sheers, the density will pucker em. Pop water-soluble topping above terry or waffle so the bulb outlines wont vanish into the nap. Run polyester thread for the magentas and yellows, the brights need to stay punchy through the wash. Hoop straight grain so the geese line up level not crooked. But pre-wind your bobbins because the dense fill burns through em quick. Slow your machine for the bulb sections, those small shapes register cleaner at a lower speed. Youll find a 75/11 needle keeps the bauble shapes from skipping.
