{"product_id":"christmas-light-border-2","title":"Christmas Light Border Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a split border frame and the top half is where all the action is. Five christmas light bulbs sit along a curved black scrollwork rail, two crimson ones and three bright green ones alternating along the run. The bulbs are those classic teardrop shapes with a little white highlight on each one to give em a bit of shine. Black satin columns make up the vine and curl work, and the bottom half mirrors the curls from the lower rail without the bulbs. Gap in the middle is where a name goes, which is why people buy this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd honestly the scrollwork is the part I spent the most time on. Its not just two parallel lines with a gap, the curls actually tuck and loop under the rail on both halves, so it reads like a proper vintage cartouche rather than a basic divider. 4 colours total: black for all the vine work, crimson and emerald for the bulbs, and white for the highlights. Keeps the thread changes down to 3 stops which most embroidery machines handle without fussing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages from craft market vendors every november asking for something they can stitch on tea towels or aprons and drop a family name into. This is that design. One customer last christmas ran it on cream linen and centred the familys surname in a script font right in the gap. She sent photos. Looked proper professional, like a personalised woven gift you'd pay alot for in a fancy shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on linen, cotton canvas, or heavy twill for cleanest results. The small 2.84-inch wide version works on mug rugs and pot holders. Pop the bigger 6-inch on a table runner or an apron bib. Skip jersey or fleece here, the fine scroll detail needs stable woven fabric to hold its shape. Pair midweight cutaway behind woven fabric, pull it clean after stitching. Dont rush the scroll columns near the join point, the curves are dense there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch count goes from 8,342 on the smallest to 20,402 on the largest, which is low-to-medium density so your machine wont bog down. Holler at me if the file loads wrong or the split alignment looks off in your software and I'll get you sorted before december hits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46261447917718,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChristmasLightBorderMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771835093","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-light-border-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
