Christmas Embroidery Roundup: Perfect Embroidery Patterns for Crafted Christmas Gifts

Welcome to the holiday season! Parties, concerts, decorating, baking and so much more. Suddenly, our best thought-out plans for giving handmade gifts are competing for time in our hectic schedules, so here are some great ideas for gifts that you still have plenty of time to put together using machine embroidery.

Machine embroidery and GO! applique dies are the perfect team for creating professional looking gifts in a flash. AccuQuilt offers free, downloadable outline embroidery in a choice of 3 stitches – blanket, motif and satin – for almost all of our applique dies, for an incredible added value. We also offer more complex designs by popular digitizers such as V-Stitch, Creative Appliques and Specialty Designs that are available to purchase and download as well.

How it Works

If you’ve never tired out any of our embroidery patterns, now is a great time because it simply couldn’t be easier. To get started, you’ll need to log into your account at AccuQuilt.com and download the design you want to work with. Next, be sure to iron your fusible onto the wrong side of your fabric before cutting your shapes on your dies. Once your project is in your hoop and ready, the machine will do the hard work for you. Check out this video to see the basic process in action.

The hardest part is deciding which design to use from the hundreds available!

Perfect for Little Ones

Little ones love personalized gifts – from t-shirts or sweatshirts to pillow cases, bags and beyond. Here are some whimsical holiday designs that are perfect for the younger crowd (or the young at heart!)

No “Claus” to Panic

Have fun featuring everyone’s favorite holiday couple, Mr. & Mrs. Claus on a variety of different projects, including fabric gift bags that are easy to whip up using the GO! Boxed Bag Die-2 Die Set by Carolina Moore.

“Gnome” for the Holidays

The GO! Gnome has been a favorite die ever since it burst onto the scene, and darling embroidery designers just keep coming to bring gnomes to any project you can imagine.

Perfect for the Kitchen

Kitchen gifts are perfect for holiday giving, and AccuQuilt has great project dies like the GO! Towel Topper and GO! Mini Oven Mitt to make quick work of creating gifts. Don’t forget June Tailor Quilt-As-You-Go kits to make wonderful holiday projects from simple mug mats to wine bags, table runners and more.

And don't forget your fantastic embroidery options for all those kitchen gifts!

With so many great designs available, it’s hard to know where to start, and this is just a sampling of what’s available! For one last bit of inspiration, the GO! Christmas in July Embroidery by Specialty Designs just may be my favorite. Spell out the fun of the season using the GO! Classic Alphabet-2” Uppercase letters that are all “elf-ed” up.

Be sure to share pictures of your creations (after they are gifted, of course) with us on social media using #AccuQuiltBuilt and happy stitchin’!
