Christmas cross / two sizes / 4x4 hoop and 5x7 hoop
Difficulty:Intermediate This is a machine embroidery design not a patch. You need to transfer the files to your embroidery machine to use it. For these types of designs it is very important to use the same color for the bobbin thread as the top thread - i.e. if you embroider the red thread - it is also necessary to use the red bobbin thread. Failure to do so will result in the design being not same on both sides. The designs should be embroidered with water soluble stabilizer. We use Vilene water soluble stabilizer-If it’s too thin use two layers. Use a size 11 or 75/11 sharp sewing needle and 40 weight rayon or polyester thread. For my designs, I mostly use embroidery threads from Gunold - SU rayon (sulky rayon), Isacord or Brother embroidery threads.
