    Preface:
    Applique Globe Ornament package with 13 different designs.  Sparkle vinyl was used for the applique fabric for the ornaments.  The designs stitched smoother with a larger needle and at a slower stitch per minute speed.  Each design has approximately 13,000-18,000 stitches.  The bobbin thread matched the color of the thread on the spool.  Matching colors makes the back of the ornament pretty like the front of the ornament.
