Gingerbread Christmas Garland Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the gingerbread christmas garland strung along a horizontal red wire. Left to right ya get an orange gingerbread man with 3 green buttons, then a small green christmas tree with red dot ornaments, another tree, a red and white striped candy cane, and a second smiling gingerbread cookie with 2 green buttons. The whole row hangs off the same red string, kinda like decorations on a country kitchen mantle.

Thats 6 colours total. Orange gingerbread, dark green, white, dark red, red, plus black outlines. Stitches go from 8,988 on the smallest 4.5 by 1.5 inch up to 15,678 on the largest 7.5 inch wide version. Density at 836 medium-heavy. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio is where the file got built, satin angles across the gingerbread bodies with short fills covering the buttons, the cookie outlines stay crisp even at the smaller sizes. The whole garland is just 1.5 inches tall though, so its a great accent stripe for narrow panels.

One customer ordered the largest 7.5 inch size last christmas for a batch of cream cotton tea towels, she ran the garland along the hem above the corner stitching. Said the country kitchen vibe sold out at her holiday craft fair. The 5 inch size also fits onto a sweatshirt sleeve cuff or a stocking hem perfectly.

Best on cotton, linen, twill, canvas, or felt where the cookie fills can sit clean. Use medium tearaway stabiliser, the dense fill needs fabric stability across the long horizontal run. Skip stretchy jersey, the line will pull crooked under any tension. Pop topping above terry or waffle so the lil button dots ride up clean on the loops. Run polyester thread for the orange and red, the colours need to hold through alot of wash cycles. Hoop straight grain because the garland is long and horizontal, alignment matters. Use a 75/11 needle for the fine button detail. Drop a note through the shop chat if you need it resized to fit a 4x4 hoop, ill batch a smaller version and send it back same evening.
