{"product_id":"wavy-christmas-string-lights-border","title":"Wavy Christmas String Lights Border Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this one different from the other lights borders is the cord. Its not a straight arc, its a proper wavy zigzag line that dips down and comes back up between each bulb, so the whole thing looks like someone just draped the wire freehand and it landed exactly right. Five bulbs total in blue, green, red, yellow, and orange, spaced along that wobbly black cord path. Each socket cap is a tight black fill and the bulbs are solid satin fills, the low density of 235 means the stitches are a bit more open which suits the loose vibe of this design perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes here, starting at 3.51 inches wide and 1,534 stitches up to the widest at 7.51 inches and 3,440 stitches. The height stays under 2 inches across all sizes so it works as a border without being chunky. Six colour changes, your machine stops for each one. A customer asked me last week if this one could go on a stretchy knit Christmas sweater as a hem accent and I said yes, just tape on a heavy cutaway so the wavy cord column doesnt pull with the fabric stretch. The cord satin needs that support or the zigzag shape distorts when you pull the garment on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessage me if the zigzag cord looks uneven in your stitch-out, sometimes the tension needs abit of tweaking on the directional cord section especially at the curve peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a firm cutaway for anything that stretches and a medium cutaway for woven cotton or linen. That sinuous cord path has directional stitching following the curves, so the underlay matters more here than on straight-cord designs. Hoop tightly and check your tension before the full run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkip topping on smooth fabrics but pop a layer on velvet or terry. Stitch on white, cream, navy, or grey for best contrast with all 5 bulb colours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037939257494,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/WavyChristmasStringLightsBorderEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1766029619","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/wavy-christmas-string-lights-border","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
