Let's Get Lit Festive Christmas Lights Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Knocked out this design for the adults who want a christmas shirt that makes people laugh at the party. The text reads lets get lit in chunky bold hand-lettered style across three stacked lines and its wrapped in and tangled with a string of christmas light bulbs in pink, red, aqua, orange, green, white and black. The bulbs hang off the letters, dangle below the bottom line, and wrap loosely around the outer edges of the whole text block. The double meaning is obvious and thats entirely the point.

Seven colours with 6 thread changes which is manageable for the output you get. The lettering uses a chalky brushy fill texture, not smooth satin, which gives it that hand-drawn chalked-on-a-blackboard look at the larger sizes. Stitch count goes from 5,995 at the 2.32 inch wide version up to 19,109 at the 6 inch size. Light density at 488 so the machine moves through it faster than youd expect for 7 colours.

I sell this one to a lot of christmas party planners and adults who do custom holiday gifts. A customer last christmas ordered it on twenty matching wine-red sweatshirts for her family reunion and said they were a hit. The medium 4 inch size works perfectly centred on a chest, big enough to read the text clearly without covering the whole front.

Five sizes from 2.32 inches up to 6.02 inches wide. Use tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton and canvas, the density is low enough that cutaway isnt always necessary on rigid fabrics. For fleece or jersey use cutaway and add a topping so the bulb caps and letter fill dont sink into the pile. Avoid very dark fabrics unless youre using a topping, the text fill detail needs contrast.
