Pulled this one together for people who want the christmas ornament idea without a complicated thread setup. Two colours, red and green, thats it. The bauble outline is drawn in red as part of the script composition, the cap is green, and the Merry Christmas lettering fills the inside. Simple but it really works on lighter fabrics where the outline shape reads cleanly. Six sizes ranging from 2.51 by 2.13 inches up to 7.51 by 6.37 inches, stitch count 5,695 to 18,681.
I run this one on cotton tea towels and white fleece christmas stockings mostly. Two colour changes means less thread swapping mid-hoop, which customers appreciate when theyre doing a batch. Hoop a stable cutaway on any knit fabric, tearaway works fine on woven cotton. The satin work on the lettering is smooth so dont rush the stitch speed, slow it down abit on the cursive sections to keep the density even.
A customer last year used the 4 inch version to stitch directly onto circular fabric patches, then sewed those onto a christmas wreath as fabric ornaments. Great idea honestly. Pair it with a cream or white background, those two colours look suprisingly classic at this scale. Best on flat, hooped fabric with no texture, the thin ornament outline is the main structural element and it needs a solid backing.
Text me if theres any issue with the file after purchase and Ill sort it out quickly.

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.
