MERRY on top, CHRISTMAS below, both in a clean festive script with enough weight to the letterforms that satin stitching on them holds its shape. The proportions run 3.51 to 7.51 inches wide but only 1.25 to 2.67 inches tall. Thats a deliberately wide-short ratio and it suits banner placements across towel hems, stocking cuffs, and table runner borders perfectly. Two colours, red and white, which is about as simple as christmas embroidery gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow stitch count, 7,567 at the largest size. For a seasonal design thats a big deal because it means you can run 4 or 5 of these on a batch of tea towels in the same time it takes to run 1 or 2 heavier designs. I digitised this with 377 density which is solid for satin text, not so dense it gets stiff and not so light the letter edges look ragged. Its been one of my steadier christmas sellers because its just practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Christmas last year a customer ran two dozen of these on red velvet stocking cuffs for a craft fair. She said the stitch time was short enough that she could do the full batch over a weekend. The white thread on red velvet looked good, she sent me a photo. Good contrast, clean letter edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a cutaway on stretch fabrics and knit, tearaway is fine for woven cotton, canvas, or linen. A topping layer on velvet or anything with a pile surface stops the satin columns disappearing into the texture. Avoid very thin fabric for the larger sizes because the density can create a stiff patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair with a simple holly or star motif above or below if you want to build out the design, it frames up well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45918167892118,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MerryChristmasVerticalMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764826084","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/merry-christmas-vertical-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
