Christmas Pine Berry Garland Embroidery Design, V-Shape Holiday Border

The pine berry garlands the cousin of the pine-needle one but its built different. 4 sizes, 3 colours, 3,695 stitches on the small. This one dips. Two pine sprays meet at a V in the centre instead of running flat, holly leaves drape outward, and the red berries dominate, way more of em than the other garlands in this set. Its jolly, not sophisticated.

Light green pine sits at 1,149 stitches. Holly at 1,501. Berries land at a thick 1,043, thats alot more red on the design vs the other pine garlands where red sat at 573 and 601. The whole designs festive cause the eye lands on red first. Densitys gentle at 449 stitches per square inch.

I get messages every november from parents stitching matching kitchen aprons for family baking day. One mum ordered three sizes, said shes gonna make em for her, her two daughters, plus a tiny one for her three-year-old who insists on wearing the same apron as mama. Said her littlest kid wears it pretty much every day for two weeks straight after the cookies are done.

Sizes go 1.01 by 4.5 inches up to 1.69 by 7.5. The taller height (1.69 max) gives the V room to dip without looking squished. Stitch on midweight cotton apron canvas, linen tea towels, kids cotton flour-sack bibs, or a quilted oven mitt cuff. Use a tearaway stabiliser for woven aprons. Skip slippery polyester cause the satin'll skate. Hooped on a 4x4 frame the smallest fits fine, 5x7 covers the rest. Run a polyester thread for kids aprons since theyll get hot-washed alot. Drop the foot speed about 20% on the berry section so the dense knots dont snap thread.
