Christmas Lights Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Quick festive wreath made from a tangled string of vintage C7 christmas bulbs. The wire loops around in a rough circle, crossing itself in the middle, and the bulbs alternate in 4 fun colours, classic red, sunshine yellow, hot pink, and bright cyan blue. Each bulb has got a little black screw base detailed on, like the real teardrop bulbs your grandparents used to hang. No floral fuss, no greenery, just lights.

5 colour design, 5 sizes from 3 inch up to 7 inch in width, stitch counts running 3,556 at the smallest then 4,462 at 4 inch and topping out around 7,033 at the biggest 7 inch. Light density at 145 means itll sit flat on cotton without ridging. 4 colour changes per run, so plan for the swaps. The order is black wire first, then red, yellow, pink and cyan bulbs after. Trim count is high at 86 to 87 trims per run since each bulb tip needs its own jump stop. And budget extra minutes on cleanup if your machine doesnt auto trim jumps.

One customer ordered the 6 inch back in november for matching christmas eve pyjama tops, she stitched five of em for her grandkids on cream waffle knit and the lights popped very nice against the texture. Shes hooping each one with mesh cutaway behind the waffle and the pieces washed up fine after the holiday.

Pop a medium tearaway under woven cotton or linen, the wire line is a continuous run that needs the support. And use a soft no-show stabiliser under any knit or stretchy fabric, no exceptions. Sew the 4-inch on a stocking front. Embroider the 6 inch on the front of a christmas pillow. Pair the 7 inch with cream felt for a tree skirt panel. Skip anything black, the bulb colours go dim against dark grounds. Hoop natural cotton or oat linen for max colour pop and youre golden.
