Elegant Snowflake Christmas Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download

An elegant snowflake christmas tree at 2.94 in wide done in paper-cut damask style, tiered scalloped layers stacking up to a sharp five-point star at the top. Either side of the tree theres two oversized six-point snowflakes sitting at mid-height, almost like guardian angels but in crystal form. The whole thing rests on a wide symmetrical baroque base, filigree curls and swirls flowing out from the trunk in mirror image, and theyre tight curls so you cant fake the underlay. Cut-paper craft feel done in thread.

One colour only. Bright aqua turquoise all the way through, but it works equally well in pale ice blue or metallic silver if youre stitching on darker velvet. Stitch counts go 9,163 at the smallest 2.94 in wide up to 18,959 at the biggest 6.30 in wide. Density sits at 401 spi on the satin columns, which is medium-firm and keeps the fine scrollwork crisp so theres no buildup. Tajima format, 61 to 83 trims per size.

Real talk theres alot of tight curls in the base scrollwork. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising means each curl gets a proper directional underlay and the satin runs around the spiral rather than across it, which is what stops the fine curves wobbling. You still need a stable hooping setup though. Skip stretchy lycra entirely. Pop medium cutaway behind any t-shirt knit. Add water-soluble topping on velvet or chenille so the tiny snowflake arms register. Honestly Im suprised how often customers send pics where the topping got skipped, those fine details just sink.

When the topping is on and the stabiliser is right this design just sings. Real velvet stocking energy.

One customer who runs a holiday decor side hustle stitched the 5.51 in size on emerald green velvet stockings using metallic silver thread, said it took eight minutes per stocking and she sold the whole batch of 24 in two markets. Said the snowflake detail on the sides was what made people stop walking.
