Christmas Milkmaid - 3 sizes

What is the Christmas Milkmaid machine embroidery design?

The Christmas Milkmaid machine embroidery design is inspired by the classic holiday carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, where “eight maids a-milking” add to the festive story. This charming design is perfect for decorating kitchen towels, aprons, and holiday linens. It fits a 130x180 mm (5x7 inch) hoop and brings a whimsical vintage feel to your seasonal embroidery projects.

Where can you place this design?

The Christmas Milkmaid looks best when embroidered on the front panel of a linen apron or near the hem of kitchen towels. It’s ideal for creating coordinated holiday kitchen decor or personalized gifts.

What stabilizer should you use?

If you're embroidering on linen with a fabric weight of 180 g/m², we recommend a medium tear-away stabilizer.

Stabilizer Calculation Formula:

Fabric weight ÷ 3 = Stabilizer weight
180 g/m² ÷ 3 = 60 g/m²

This formula helps maintain stitch precision and fabric stability during embroidery.

Is there a companion design?

Yes! For larger projects, try the Christmas Milkmaid Set machine embroidery designs — perfect for completing your “12 Days of Christmas” collection.
