    Preface:
    Christmas is a great time to display all of your crafts and projects. Here is an easy and fun project that you can do to decorate your tree. The designs have low stitch counts and only one color stop each so they embroider quickly.
     

    Step 1:
    (Click Image to Enlarge)
    Cut three pieces of felt, all the same color, sized to fit in an 18mm hoop. Stack all three pieces together one on top of the other and hoop together. Add the corresponding metallic thread color to your embroidery machine and also use the same thread in your bobbin. (Both sides of the design will then have metallic thread.) Embroider the design.

    Step 2:
    After the garland shape has been embroidered you can now add text from the Christmas Text Design Pack. There are 29 words already sized to fit inside the garland shapes.

    Step 3:
    Remove the fabric from the hoop and cut along the outside running stitch thread.

    Step 4:
    Once you have made several garland shapes, thread the pattons allure or other thin yarn through the candlewicking needle and poke through the embroidered circles in the garland shapes so the yarn is in the back.

    Step 5:
    Leave a desired amount of space between each shape.

    Step 6:
    Tie off the ends of the garland and trim your tree.

    Step 7:

    Cut three pieces of felt, all the same color, sized to fit in an 18mm hoop. Stack all three pieces together one on top of the other and hoop together. Add the corresponding metallic thread color to your embroidery machine and also use the same thread in your bobbin. (Both sides of the design will then have metallic thread.) Embroider the design.

    Step 8:
    After the ornament shape has been embroidered you can now add text from the Christmas Text Design Pack. There are 29 words already sized to fit inside the ornament shapes.

    Step 9:
    Remove the fabric from the hoop and cut along the outside running stitch thread.

    Step 10:
    Using a needle or a metal ornament hanger punch a hole in the embroidered circle in the design, and add the ornament hanger.
     

    Step 11:
    Cut a thin strip of quilting fabric or ribbon and tie a bow on the ornament hanger near the ornament.

    Step 12:
    Now your new ornament is ready to be hung on your tree or you can make several and give them as gifts.
