Round Christmas String Lights Wreath Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Seven bulbs sit around a wavy circular cord, spaced like hours on a clock face, each one pointing outward from the centre. The cord isnt a perfect geometric circle, its got a slight scallop to the path between each bulb which keeps it from looking too rigid or computer-drawn. Colours go green, yellow, orange, purple, and blue across the strand, 6 colours total with the black cord. That clear middle space is the big selling point here because you can stitch a name, a monogram, or a year right in the middle and the wreath frames it without competing.

Three sizes, from 3.5 inches wide by 3.63 inches tall up to 5.5 inches wide by 5.7 inches tall. Stitch count is 3,493 on the smallest and 5,721 on the largest. Density is 182 which is actually lower than most of my other lights designs, the open fill on the cord makes it stitch faster and puts less stress on the fabric. Customers have been ordering this one a lot this christmas for personalised gift bags with names in the middle. Hoop with a cutaway stabiliser and make sure your fabric is pulled drum tight, the circular path needs good tension to stay round.

Six colour changes, so your machine pauses 6 times. Stitch slow on the cord section if youre on an older machine, the scalloped path has directional changes that can create jump stitches on machines with slower thread trimming. Use topping film on fleece or terry fabrics so the satin bulbs dont sink into the pile. Pop a firm cutaway under jersey or knit to keep the circle from distorting when you remove it from the hoop.

White, cream, or oatmeal cotton linen and canvas are all great base fabrics. The open centre looks best on a plain background so whatever goes in the middle reads clean.
