Minimal Christmas Tree Light Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Theres no tree body here. Just a single looping black cord drawn in 4 stacked ovals that read as a Christmas tree silhouette, narrowing toward a gold star at the top. Its like someone took a neon sign and ran it through an embroidery machine. The colored bulbs dot the strand at irregular intervals, yellow, red, purple, teal, dark green, each one a tiny drop shape with a small cap stitch on top.

6 colors and 5 stops means quick color changes. The largest size is only 11,333 stitches total, so this stitches out in under 20 minutes. I ran the 4.51 inch size on a grey linen tea towel last week and the black cord outline sat perfectly flat, no registration shifting at all. One customer ordered 6 copies for a local craft class last christmas and said her students, most of them beginners, finished the stitch-out in under 30 minutes each. The low density means you dont need heavy stabiliser.

Pop firm tearaway behind knit fabric if you want the cord to hold its shape on a t-shirt, because the long satin runs on the oval sections will travel if the fabric moves under the foot. Use tearaway on woven cotton. On denim or twill, nothing extra needed. Stitch the 2.84 inch on a shirt pocket for a clean minimal look that doesnt take over the garment.

The 2.84 inch is small enough for a shirt pocket, and the 6.07 reaches from collar to hem on a childrens tee. The star sits about 1.5 inches above the last oval ring, which gives you room to add a name below if you want to personalise it. Text me through the shop message if your machine needs a different hoop size and I can advise.
