Materials
  • Designs from the Christmas Cards Design Pack
  • Card stock
  • 10/70 sharp needle or 11 sharp or smaller
  • Paper cutting board or ruler and pen
  • Spray adhesive
  • Cutaway backing
  • Full bobbin
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Tips:
  • Use a high quality cardstock to embroider on. Do not use cardstock that has decorative elements inside like leaves or small flowers.
  • If your cardstock is tearing when you embroider it, use a thicker weight of cardstock with longer fibers.
  • Needles: make sure to use a size 11 or smaller sharp needle. If you use a universal or ballpoint needle the holes will be much larger in the card and tearing might occur.
  • Horizontal Christmas Card: when spraying adhesive to the inside cover on the horizontal cards, you will spray the bottom inside cover. Click here for an example.
