Christmas Village - Girl and Snowman is a charming machine embroidery design that transports us to cozy winter scenes of an old-fashioned village. At the center is a girl building a snowman, surrounded by snow-covered trees, a house, and more. This design is ideal for festive textiles such as Christmas tablecloths, napkins, towels, and gift accessories.

The required hoop size for this design is 130x180 mm (5x7 inches), making it perfect for larger items like decorative pillows, holiday aprons, or wall hangings. It works best on dense fabrics like cotton, linen, or even thick felt to ensure clear, crisp details.

Additionally, if you're planning to use this design for commercial purposes—such as selling embroidered items, décor, or accessories—a commercial license is available, allowing you to manufacture and sell products featuring this design.

Question:
How can I prevent contour shifting during embroidery, and how should I properly hoop the fabric? How do I choose the right stabilizer?

Answer:
To avoid contour shifting, follow these steps:

1. Choosing a stabilizer: Pick one with a weight around a third of the fabric’s weight. For example, for fabric weighing 150 g/m², use a stabilizer weighing 50 g/m² (1.5 oz/yd²), like Floriani Medium Tearaway.

2. Adhesive application: Spray temporary adhesive (e.g., GUNOLD KK-100) on the stabilizer from 20-25 cm, then smoothly attach the fabric, ensuring no wrinkles.

3. Hooping: Hoop both fabric and stabilizer together, keeping them smooth and taut, without overstretching the fabric.

Question:
What are some alternatives to Floriani Medium Tearaway, and what is their weight?

Answer:
Here are a few alternatives to Floriani Medium Tearaway with their weights:

• Sulky Tear-Easy – 50 g/m² (1.5 oz/yd²)
• Madeira Cotton Soft Tear-Away – 50 g/m² (1.5 oz/yd²)
• OESD Heavyweight TearAway – 68 g/m² (2 oz/yd²)
• Pellon Stitch-N-Tear – 50 g/m² (1.5 oz/yd²)

All of these tear-away stabilizers offer solid support for medium to heavy fabrics.
