Dress up your door for the holidays with a beautiful Christmas embroidered wreath. This sewing pattern walks you through making a one-of-a-kind wreath to welcome visitors all season long. This wreath by Carolyn Letten will help you learn how to machine appliqué with the addition of free motion machine embroidery to add smaller details to the design. Have a go at creating a scribble effect around each picture and adding scallop shaped details. Remember that free motion stitching can be as ‘imperfect’ as you like – after all, that’s half the fun!
