4 sizes included: 5x7, 6x10, 150x240 hoop (slightly smaller 6x10) and 8x12
Approximate finished sizes:
5x7 - 34.6" Diameter
6x10 - 47.7" Diameter

Requires 45 hoopings. Thirty applique blocks and 15 embroidery-only blocks are stitched completely in the hoop, and then joined together with your sewing machine. The backing and optional binding are added with your sewing machine. Our instructions include sewing the backing onto the pieced tree skirt right sides together and inverting the project (as pictured in the brown and red samples). Other samples show a binding, which is an intermediate sewing skill NOT required nor included in our directions.
Easy to make and assemble! Our samples were all stitched on single-needle embroidery machines! Complete step by step PDF photo tutorial and detailed colorcharts included with your download. No additional software or cutting machines required.

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!Ā Check out their programs Essentials, Enthusiast,Ā StitchArtistĀ , and ThumbnailerĀ to learn more about their other useful, fun and easy features!
