How many stitches and colours is this design?

34,215 stitches at the 7" size and 9 thread colours. There are 13 colour changes in the stitch order, so that is how many times you will swap thread.

How much thread will I need?

What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

This is a medium design at roughly 864 stitches per square inch. Cut-away or a firm tear-away stabiliser is the safe choice. Comfortable on most wovens and stable knits.

Is this a patch or a finished item?

No. This is a digital embroidery design — a set of machine files you download. It is not a patch, a transfer, or any physical item, and nothing is posted to you. You will need an embroidery machine and a way to transfer the files to it.

The detail

Description

Add a touch of festive mischief with this cartoon-style Grinch hand design, showing a green furry hand in a Santa sleeve delicately pinching a bright red Christmas ornament. The long fingers, white fur cuff and tiny ground shadow give it that unmistakable caught-in-the-act look, ideal for anyone who likes their Christmas décor with a slyer edge. It suits fans of classic holiday cartoons as well as stitchers making gifts for the family member who is never quite feeling the festive spirit.

This nine-colour design has enough detail to make the fur, cuff and ornament read clearly without losing its playful feel, and the moderately dense stitching gives it a solid, tidy finish. It would look especially good on the front of a sweatshirt, a Christmas apron, a stocking cuff or the pocket of a festive tote, where the red bauble can really stand out against darker fabrics. Try it on black, heather grey, cream or red for strong contrast and a clean, graphic Christmas look.
