Embroidery Designs
We have used the John Deer’s Ultimate Stash Christmas Letters to decorate the Stocking fold. You can purchase a Ladybug Club subscription to the Ultimate Stash allowing you to choose from over 25,000 quality embroidery designs, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have downloaded and resized our ‘J’ letter to be 5cm x 5cm, using Embrilliance digitizing software.
Quilt your Stocking
You can also cut your fabric into 3″ x 15″ strips and stitch them together. Once you have a 15″ x 15″ quilted block you can iron this flat and then use as your standard fabric piece for the stocking front and back.
