Musical Christmas Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Honestly this one started as a doodle in a sketchbook last december. Its a christmas tree built from tiered aqua swirl bands stacked into a cone shape, rows of musical eighth notes march across each tier like little carolers parading round the trunk. The middle tier carries sand orange eighth notes and the bottom band runs candy pink ones. A sand-gold eight-point star perches on top and the whole silhouette has these lil pink sparkle bursts scattered around it, the kind that look like 80s holiday wrapping paper.

Seven colours, youve got aqua handling the swirl tiers, sand doing the orange notes plus the star, pink doing the bottom row plus the sparkle bursts, powder blue and turquoise as accent stitches in the middle. Total stitch count climbs from 14,697 on the 3.21-inch hoop up to 30,597 on the largest 6.88-inch. Density is 594 across the lot. The build sits inside Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, satin columns angle across the tier bands so the swirl reads as motion, not flat fill. 86 trims aswell.

One customer ordered three sizes for her sister who teaches choir, suprised herself by stitching all three on the same weekend, a hoodie a tote and a stocking. The pink sparkles around the edge are kinda the magic touch on this one. Heres the catch though, those sparkle bursts have skinny radial lines that the smallest hoop swallows. Best on 4-inch or larger if you want the bursts to read.

For best contrast on darker fabric, stitch this on charcoal grey, navy, or burgundy where the aqua tier bands and the sand star really sing. Avoid white fabric, the aqua against white feels washed out and itll lose definition under cool light. Use poly thread for durability, especially on the sand orange notes which scuff faster than the cooler colours. Hoop firm with cutaway. Dm me if your machine reads the eight-step colour sequence funny, ill split the stop file into shorter runs for you. Worth the effort though.
