You can download embroidery design files immediately after purchase.
The design is delivered as a ZIP file containing all required formats and basic instructions. If needed, you may use an online unzip tool to extract the files correctly before transferring them to your machine.

Stabilizer calculation formula:
Fabric weight ÷ 3 = recommended stabilizer weight.
Example: If your fabric weighs 150 g/m² → 150 ÷ 3 = 50 g/m² stabilizer.

How to embroider on terry towels

When embroidering on terry towels, place a water-soluble topper on top of the fabric to prevent stitches from sinking into the pile. Use a medium cutaway stabilizer underneath, hoop carefully without stretching, and stitch at a moderate speed. After embroidery, remove excess stabilizer and rinse away the topper with warm water.

This charming Christmas design will add a magical touch to your projects, enhance your holiday creations, and inspire new ideas in the world of machine embroidery.
