Dear Santa: Antique Letter with a Wax Seal

From our Heirloom Christmas line: an antique letter to Santa with a red wax seal and a quill, drawn like an antique Victorian Christmas card and carved in fine engraved lines. A sealed envelope tied with a gold ribbon, a star stamped in red wax, holly and a quill pen. Under it, "Dear Santa" is hand-lettered in a vintage script and stitched in satin. The light parts are the fabric itself, so it looks embroidered, not printed. Four sizes: an 8 × 12 for sweatshirt fronts, 6 × 10 and 5 × 7 with the lettering, and a 4 × 4 of the picture alone for ornaments, stockings and napkins.

• 4 sizes included: 190 × 250 mm (8 × 12 in hoop), 150 × 198 mm (6 × 10 in hoop), 122 × 162 mm (5 × 7 in hoop) and 88 × 95 mm (4 × 4 in hoop). Each size is digitized at its own size, not scaled.
• 4 thread colours, with Madeira Polyneon codes and the colour order on each size's production sheet.
• Light fabric: made for cream, white, oatmeal and light gray sweatshirts, linen pillows, stockings and tea towels. The light parts are the fabric itself, so skip black and dark colors.

Best on sweatshirts, pillow covers, stockings and tea towels. Use a cut-away stabilizer on sweatshirts and knits and a firm tear-away on linen; stitch the gold in metallic thread for an extra-special finish.
