{"product_id":"merry-christmas-lights","title":"Merry Christmas Lights Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSix colours, 10,366 stitches, Wilcom, density 137. Its merry christmas text with a string of lights looping around and below the lettering, red, yellow, green and blue bulbs on a dark cord, each bulb colour getting its own separate fill stop. Near-square at 3.5 inches wide by 3.36 inches tall, so it sits well as a chest graphic or a centred placement on most items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages every november asking whether the christmas lights design stitches cleanly on dark fabric because a lot of people plan their christmas orders early. Yes, it does, each bulb has proper underlay so the colour pops against dark navy, black or forest green. Stick to medium cutaway behind here because the bulb section density runs higher than the text and you dont want any shifting mid-run. Add topping on fleece or velvet if youre stitching on christmas sweatshirts or festive fabric with texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe six colour sequence is organised to minimise back-tracking, text first, then the cord, then cycle through the bulb colours. Each colour change is worth it. The satin on the text is directional and every bulb stop has its own underlay layer keeping the colour rich without bleeds between them. Check your bobbin tension before you start because six-colour runs are where tension problems show up first and most obviously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople are using this on christmas sweatshirts, holiday aprons, gift tote bags, matching family christmas shirts, and pillow covers. It also works well on stocking panels cut from woven cotton or canvas. Stitch on navy, forest green, red or black for best contrast with all six thread colours. The string lights dont work on light fabrics, you'll lose half the colour depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412137693334,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MerryChristmasLightsEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1780483846","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/merry-christmas-lights","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
