From our Heirloom Christmas line: an antique nutcracker soldier, drawn like an antique Victorian Christmas card and carved in fine engraved lines. A red coat with gold braid, a tall plumed hat and a carved white beard. Under it, "Nutcracker" 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: 129 × 286 mm (8 × 12 in hoop), 105 × 243 mm (6 × 10 in hoop), 80 × 170 mm (5 × 7 in hoop) and 38 × 94 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.

Fabric & stabilizer

Fabric: Sweatshirts, pillow covers, stockings, tea towels and medium-weight cotton or linen in cream, white, oatmeal or light gray (the light parts are the fabric itself). Pre-washed and pressed.

Stabilizer: 1 layer medium cut-away on sweatshirts and knits, a firm tear-away on linen, canvas and tea towels; add a water-soluble topping on fleece and towels.

Licence & refunds

Stitch this design on items for yourself or to sell. Please don't resell, share or redistribute the files themselves.

This is a digital file: you need an embroidery machine and a way to load files onto it. Resizing a stitch file changes its density, so ask us for another size instead of scaling it.

Downloads are instant, so sales are final. If a file doesn't sew right, tell us and we'll fix it. See the refund policy.
