Christmas Holly Berry Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The wreath sits as a full closed circle, theres no ribbon at the bottom, no bow, nothing extra. Just the leaves and berries going all the way round in a clean loop. The holly leaves are the spiky-edged kind, laid in overlapping pairs, and the berry clusters are those tight little groups of 3 to 5 round berries that sit right where the leaf stems cross. An outline thread in black traces every leaf and berry edge, which is what gives this thing its depth, without that third colour the whole design would sit flat.

the software I use gave me precise control over the leaf satin direction so each holly leaf runs at the correct angle from midrib to tip, not just horizontal fills that look wrong on pointed shapes. Theres 3 colours: Red, Dark Green, Black, with 2 colour changes and 3 stops. 5 sizes from 3.32 inches up to 7.11 inches wide, stitch range 9,921 to 25,182. The density is 472 per square inch which keeps it lightweight enough for a pillow cover without stiffening the fabric. Lay mid-weight cutaway on the pillow panel before hooping.

One customer stitched the 7-inch version on a red throw pillow last december and it came out looking like a proper christmas decoration, her words. She did forest green leaves and deep crimson berries and said the colour contrast on the red fabric was way bolder than she expected. Cant argue with that result.

Use it on table runners, stockings, linen placemats, or a winter door banner. Best on tightly woven fabrics, canvas, denim, linen. Add topping on towelling or velvet to keep the berry satin from sinking. Avoid placing near a pillow seam since the circular shape needs a clear flat centre to read properly. Stitch that black colour last so it sits on top and the edge stays crisp.
