Playful Christmas Rooster Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Round chubby christmas rooster, this ones super farm-cheeky. Sand orange body feathers, red comb and wattle, plus a tilted red santa hat with brown reindeer antlers sticking out from behind. His body is wrapped in a string of christmas bulb lights, ya can see red yellow blue and orange bulbs along the wire. Orange feet planted firm at the bottom. Its proper country kitchen christmas energy.

9 colours total, alot of swaps but the result is worth it. Sand orange, tomato red, white hat trim, brown antlers, plus dark blue yellow orange and salmon for the bulb accents, then black for outlines. Stitches go from 16,231 at the smallest 3.51 by 2.31 inch up to 39,392 at the biggest 7.51 inch wide version. Density at 1064 heavy fill, so cutaway isnt optional here. The file got built in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, satin runs at an angle across the feather fills, the rooster reads textured not flat. Youll find that customising the bulb colours to match your barn palette is easy in your machine software. Heres the trick though, swap the bulb thread before each colour stop.

I get messages alot from country kitchen folk about this design, the rooster character really fits a barn vibe. A customer ordered the 5 inch size last christmas for a cream cotton kitchen apron, she said it sold out at her farm christmas market booth in two days. The 4 inch size also fits onto a sweatshirt chest or a tote bag without crowding.

Best on cotton, fleece, twill, canvas, or felt where the heavy fill can sit flat. Use heavy cutaway stabiliser, the 9 colours mean alot of fabric stress through the run. Skip thin sheers, the density will pucker em badly. Pop topping above terry or waffle so the bulb outlines hold up above the nap. Run polyester thread for the orange and red, the colours need to stay punchy through wash cycles. Hoop straight grain so the rooster stands level not crooked. Use a 75/11 sharp needle for the fine bulb outlines and antler tips. Pre-wind several bobbins because the dense feather fill burns through em fast. Email me through the shop if you want me to swap the antlers for a plain christmas bow accent, send me your preference and ill batch the file back same evening.
