Holiday Prickly Blooms for Machine Embroidery

This collection of Holiday Prickly Blooms is the third pattern in this series. Although instructions for a table runner are included in the pattern, these designs can be used on pillows, aprons, place-mats, hand towels - anything for a “Prickly” Holiday.

This pattern contains the following:

• A collection of machine embroidery designs in the following formats: ART, .DST, .EXP, .HUS, .JEF, .PES, .VIP and .VP3. The designs come in two sizes: the large designs require a hoop with an embroidery field of 200mm x 300mm (7.8”x 11.8”). The medium designs require a hoop with an embroidery field of 160mm x 260mm (6.29” x 10.2”) Theses designs DO fir the Bernina Midi Hoop. Exact design sizes are listed on the individual stitch-outs.

There are NOT separate stitch-out instructions for the medium designs, as the steps are all the same. Simply follow the instructions provided for the large designs.

*Pattern includes cutting instructions and SVG cutting files that can be used with your preferred electronic cutting machine.


This pattern was not designed for the type of applique where you cut away the extra fabric. The templates are the actual applique size and after cutting out the pieces, you will place the pieces within stitched-out placement lines.

HOWEVER: You CAN use the cutaway method for your applique, but you will have to repeat the placement line after you place your fabric down and before you cut your fabric away. I do not include a second placement line or a tack down stitch in my designs.
