You had me at Pom poms. So cute. How big does this measure across?ReplyCancel

  Mine has a 42″ diameter. I have a narrow tree, but I really wanted a bigger tree skirt, so I went for the full size!ReplyCancel

This is a beautiful tree skirt! Does a seam allowance need to be added around the wedge pattern piece?ReplyCancel
- MeredithNovember 30, 2012 - 3:06 pm
  No seam allowance needed! It’s already included in the pattern piece!ReplyCancel

This is just what I’ve been looking for! Can you tell me what the seam allowance is on the wedges? Thanks!ReplyCancel

What kind of stabilizer do you use? I’m planning to make one of these for my cousin for a wedding gift.ReplyCancel
- MeredithSeptember 11, 2014 - 10:55 pm
  I generally just use a mid or lightweight fusible interfacing from Pellon. :)ReplyCancel

Meredith, embroidery newbie, here. Did you hand stitch or use a machine to embroider? I have a “normal” singer. With the appropriate thread and needle, am I able to use my machine (for the straight stitching at least)? Thanks!ReplyCancel
- KLeeDecember 19, 2017 - 12:46 pm
  I guess the straight stitching is actually considered “quilting” and not “embroidering.” Still, is it possible to use a normal machine with the thicker thread to accomplish this look?ReplyCancel
  - MeredithDecember 19, 2017 - 12:50 pm
    I’m not sure that you could do the running stitch style quilting on a machine, but a straight stitch would work if you want to do that. :) ReplyCancel
- MeredithDecember 19, 2017 - 12:48 pm
  For all of the embroidery, I hooped it up and did it by hand. ReplyCancel
KLeeDecember 19, 2017 - 1:03 pm
Thanks for your help and prompt response! Praying I get this finished as a Christmas gift!ReplyCancel
