applique? And go through the steps like the others using felt? Since it doesn't get cut very closely it should be okay right? Is there anything else I need to watch for? TIA Hugs, Terre

Fond a santa face applique and filled stitch at Agua Santa blog 313 there are 3 files. A small stitched, medium applique which you maybe able to shrink and a large stitch designs. I don't have a link to here site.

Another santa face free at sew swell you will need to shrink.

The designs on sucker covers might be the right size for your project.

I think you might be right Anita, I wondered about those, but was trying to find just a face. I might have to settle for the others. :) Thanks

This is a link to one of the embroidery library projects - I think it would work well for the clippies, they stitch on organza then melt the last edges away.

Thank you, that would work also, But for these they need to be on felt. I will check it out for some other projects though. I appreciate you looking for me. Hugs, Terre

I made a few hair clipies similar to the ones you brought at gg Designs. All the ones I made I used applique designs I already had I left of the satin stitch to make them quick and the applique design also has the placement stitch and the tack down stitch I deleted the one that is not a straight stitch hope this makes sence.
YOu could just stitch the whole design as is and cut around the outside. If you want a red hat and white face probably best to leave it as it is.
Have fun with your santa I will watch project to see what you did.

thank you, I didn't think about the tack down, but I will play around with it and see what works best.

Terre, the applique should work just fine - just slipping another piece of felt under the design before it sews out the finished outline. I am doing hair clippies also but, am having trouble finding small applique designs that will fit. Laura

Thanks, just what I thought.

BTW Laura, I've been looking also, the mini's are almost too small. I'm trying to find things that are less than 2" all around. :)
