The Santa Claus on the Northern Deer Large Machine Embroidery Design is perfect for creating eye-catching, detailed holiday-themed projects. Available in four sizes and designed for mega hoops, this design is great for larger embroidery projects like festive banners, tablecloths, and wall art. It includes a commercial license, making it a great option for those looking to sell their embroidered creations.

Where to Embroider and Fabric Recommendations

Due to the large size and high stitch count of this design, it's best to use dense, stable fabrics with a weight of around 180 grams per square meter (g/m²) or more, which is about 5.3 oz/yd² in the U.S. measurement system. Fabrics such as linen, heavy cotton, or twill are ideal. These materials provide the necessary stability to hold the shape of the embroidery without stretching or warping.

Stabilizer Choices and the Importance of Hooping

For this design, both cut-away and tear-away stabilizers can be used, depending on your fabric choice. Recommended stabilizers include:

• OESD Ultra Clean & Tear (55-60 g/m² or 1.6-1.8 oz/yd²) – Excellent for light to medium fabrics and easy to tear away cleanly.
• Gunold Cut-Away (50-60 g/m² or 1.6 oz/yd²) – A durable option for more stable fabrics that require long-lasting support.

As this design includes contour lines, proper hooping is crucial. Incorrect hooping or poor fabric tension can lead to shifting, which will cause the contours to misalign. For beginners or those still mastering hooping techniques, this design is a great opportunity to practice getting the perfect fabric tension for contour designs.

Smaller Version Available

For those looking for a smaller project, there is also a Santa Claus on the Northern Deer machine embroidery design available. This version retains all the charm of the larger design but is more suitable for smaller projects like pillows or aprons, offering flexibility for various holiday creations.
