Instant heirloom! Create an elegant Christmas tree skirt with gorgeous poinsettia appliques and quilting patterns. Customize with the fabrics and threads of your choice to make a project that is uniquely yours.
3 sizes included: 5x7, 6x10, and 8x12
Approximate finished sizes:
5x7 - 34.3" Diameter
6x10 - 46.3" Diameter
8x12 - 57.3" Diameter
Please note: This is a new tree skirt layout. The individual blocks are shaped differently, and the finished skirt sizes vary from our previous releases. The files cannot be interchanged with our other three-tier tree skirts.
Requires 45 hoopings:
- Fifteen inner blocks are embroidery-only.
- Fifteen middle blocks feature stitch-and-flip borders with an embroidery-only quilting design in the center.
- Fifteen outer blocks feature applique poinsettias in the center and are finished with stitch-and-flip edges.
The 45 blocks are completely in the hoop, and then joined together with your sewing machine. The backing is added with your sewing machine. Our instructions include sewing the backing onto the pieced tree skirt right sides together and inverting the project. The narrow stitch-and-flip borders on the outer blocks give the appearance of binding without the hard work!
Easy to make and assemble! Our samples were all stitched on single-needle embroidery machines! Complete step-by-step PDF photo tutorial and detailed color charts included with your download. No additional software or cutting machines required. Please note: one sample shows gold piping added between the primary block fabric and the stitch and flip borders; this technique is NOT included in our instructions.

Our designs are manually digitized and test stitched before release. For best results we recommend stitching our designs unaltered on projects hooped with stabilizer appropriate for the material being used. We cannot guarantee results when our designs have been modified in software or non-traditional hooping methods are used. We highly recommend doing a test stitch on an altered design before putting it on a valuable blank. That being said, we are often asked for a recommendation for embroidery editing software for customizing purposes:
Designs by JuJu recommends the user friendly Embrilliance embroidery editing software to type out fonts in BX format, combine/merge designs, personalize and customize projects and more! Check out their programs Essentials, Enthusiast, StitchArtist , and Thumbnailer to learn more about their other useful, fun and easy features!
