Three gnomes, a pun, and alot of personality in one design. 'Christmas with my' runs across the top in red cursive, kinda loose and casual like handwriting, and then the 3 little gnomes cluster in the middle with their tall pointed hats and big fluffy beards. Below them the word 'Gnomies' hits in chunky forest green block letters with snowflakes tucked in between. Its really just festive without trying too hard.
industry tools mapped the 5-colour sequencing cleanly. White for the beards goes first, then black for the beard shadow details, dark green for the gnome bodies and lettering, orange for the little noses, and red last for the hats and the script up top. That order minimises how many times you stop to change thread. Density is at 542 and the file runs 12,550 stitches at from the petite 3.5 to 30,098 at the largest, so this is genuinely a complex design. Cutaway stabiliser is the only option here, dont try to run it on tearaway or the gnome body fill will pucker at the bobbin side.
One customer hooped the 4.mid-size 5 on a red canvas apron last november and said it was the most-commented piece she brought to her craft market. She ran it on a medium-weight red apron fabric with a firm cutaway underneath and topped the lettering sections with a lil bit of water-soluble topping to keep the satin edges clean on the textured canvas weave. Thats the move for any fabric that has a visible weave pattern.
Stitch it on an apron, a sweatshirt front, or a zip-top tote. The 7-inch size fills a sweatshirt chest panel nicely. Use good cutaway stabiliser with at least a medium-density weave, and run your machine at about 75 percent speed on the finer beard areas. Best on flat-woven or fleece fabrics rather than heavily textured surfaces. Avoid digitising the beard fill sections without topping on anything with a raised pile because youll see thread loops on the surface.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
