The whole quote is laid out in a christmas tree silhouette, which I thought was a nice touch when I designed this one. A red five-point star sits at the very top, then the text lines step out wider as you read down: 'May' in green script, 'The Spirit' in red, 'Of Christmas' in green, 'Fill Your' in red, 'Heart' in big green letters with small red holly branches on each side, and 'With Joy' in red at the base with two red snowflake motifs anchoring the corners. The wider those bottom lines get, the cleaner that triangular silhouette reads, especially at the bigger sizes.
Two colours, red and dark green, 1 colour change and a total of 59 trims on the medium size which sounds like alot but the machine handles it cleanly. Stitch counts run from just under 11,000 at the 3.5-inch size up to 23,035 at the 7.5-inch. Density sits at 490 per cm2 which is light enough to run fine on quilting cotton, fleece, or even heavy linen without the fabric pulling. Wilcom digitising keeps the script letters in 'Spirit' and 'Christmas' readable even at smaller sizes, Im suprised how well those curves hold at 3.5 inches.
This is the one I get the most repeat orders on in december. People use it for christmas market vendor aprons, gift shop merchandise, and church group programs. One customer who runs a christmas market stall in november ordered it on cream linen table runners last year, she said it sold better than anything else on her table.
Use a tearaway stabiliser on stable woven cotton or linen. Cutaway works better on fleece. Its a tall design relative to width so pick a placement area that has room top to bottom, a tee front panel works perfectly at the 7.5-inch size. Skip busy patterned fabric here, theres alot of fine letterwork in there and it needs a plain ground to read right. Hoop firm and slow the machine on the snowflake sections at the base, those tiny points are where skipped stitches show up if you rush. Text me if youre ordering for a christmas market and want to know which fabric weight held up best for table runners.

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.
