The Christmas Square Border with Poinsettias Machine Embroidery Design creates an elegant floral frame for Christmas and winter textile projects. The open center can be left plain, gathered with a button or personalized with a seasonal inscription.
This poinsettia machine embroidery design works especially well on decorative linen pillows, Christmas towels, holiday aprons, table toppers, placemats, napkins and other festive table linens.

Find the inscription shown inside this frame:
Warm Wishes inscription - 3 sizes
Import the frame and inscription into the same embroidery-software layout and align both objects to the same center point. Preview the complete composition before saving it for the machine. Leave at least 3–5 mm (1/8–3/16 in) between the lettering and the nearest stitches of the floral frame.
This design uses 12 thread colors in 20 color blocks. Repeated colors are intentional because the stitching sequence controls layering, shading and clean overlaps. Do not combine repeated blocks automatically.

| Stabilizer | Type | Weight | Recommended use | Removal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Madeira Cotton Stable | Fusible tear-away | 50 g/m² / 1.47 oz/yd² | Stable linen, cotton pillow fronts, towels and table linens. The fusible coating helps prevent shifting of the linen weave. | Tear away carefully after embroidery. |
| Madeira Cotton Soft | Soft tear-away | 50 g/m² / 1.47 oz/yd² | Firm woven cotton and linen when the back of the embroidery will remain visible. Use two crossed layers for a denser frame only after a test stitch. | Tears away cleanly close to the stitching. |
| Madeira Cotton Fix | Self-adhesive tear-away | 50 g/m² / 1.47 oz/yd² | Finished aprons, difficult-to-hoop items and accurate placement around a pocket. | Support the stitches with one hand while removing the stabilizer. |
| Madeira Super Strong | Cut-away | 80 g/m² / 2.36 oz/yd² | Large and mega-hoop sizes, loosely woven linen and projects with more than 50,000 stitches. | Does not tear. Trim to approximately 6–10 mm (1/4–3/8 in) around the embroidery. |
| Floriani Medium Weight Firm Tearaway | Firm tear-away | 50.9 g/m² / 1.50 oz/yd² | Firm linen, cotton towels, napkins, placemats and other non-stretch woven textiles. | Tears firmly and cleanly when the fabric is adequately supported. |
| Sulky Tear-Easy | Light tear-away | 33 g/m² / 0.97 oz/yd² | Lighter woven fabrics and test samples. For this full frame, use multiple layers only after testing. | Tears easily; remove small sections gradually. |
| Vlieseline Stitch-n-Tear | Tear-away | 40 g/m² / 1.18 oz/yd² | Smaller frame sizes on stable cotton or closely woven linen. | Tears away after the embroidery is complete. |
For terry cloth or fabric with a raised surface, add a water-soluble topping such as Madeira Avalon Film or Sulky Solvy on top. Topping keeps stitches from sinking into the pile, but it does not replace the supporting stabilizer underneath the fabric.
If the stabilizer is not self-adhesive, apply temporary spray adhesive lightly to the stabilizer away from the embroidery machine. Wait until it becomes tacky, then smooth the fabric into position. Do not spray the fabric, hoop, needle plate or the area around the machine. Excess adhesive can gum the needle and collect lint inside the hook area.
This is a digital machine embroidery file. Fabric, thread, pillow, buttons and other finished items are not included.
