3d fsl Christmas tree by Mops - enlarged it 10% and used 30wt cotton thread for the tree and metallic gold for the trim for a young man who is in the service and won't be home for Christmas

nicely done-

this is so beautiful, thank you for sharing, hugs.

A couple of these are on my to do list for Christmas. Nice that they can be enlarged a bit. They're quite lovely.

You can enlarge them a bit, but do what the craftycritter did: use a 30wt thread instead if the usual 40wt.

These are lovely we(older cuties) had fun makeing these last year so have fun and they look lovely hugs

Very nice and thoughtful.

Try placing metallic threads in the freezer until you are ready to use them. Use and place back in the freezer ubtil needed again.

very nice

Very nice!!!!

What type of metallic thread did you use? I've tried metalic thread without success.I used a needle for metallics & slowed the machine down ,but it didn't help.

I always use the same metallic in the bobbin - this particular metallic was RA - run the machine on slow and watch the thread for kinks coming off the spool. Have found that if I run a bobbin and use it as the top thread it doesn't kink and break as often.

Thanks for the info .I have a different brand but I'll try this out & see if it works for me otherwise I might have to buy some RA

very pretty..

Very nice

Looks great and thanks to Martine for the design. Love and blessings Chris

Very nice work!

I love it in green! Although I digitised it using green (makes it a lot easier to see what you are doing) I only stitched in white. A pity, as I think yours is so nice.I hope you don't mind me adding the links.

Thank you so much for adding the link. I added them and they never showed up and then one comment shows up twice. Computers drive me nuts, but I couldn't live without one.

Good idea as a mail-gift. I am sure he will appreciate it.

Great job!

It is perfect and will mail easily to him.

How sweet of you. It's lovely. Nice work. Where did you find this design?
