Embroidered Post Cards

" Save some paper and make postcards with your embroidery machine. This process uses the free "Holly & Berry" embroidery file I created, card stock and some cheap thread. Each pattern stitches in about a minute. A stack of half sheet card stock with some low tack painter's tape on the embroidery frame will speed up the process to make multiple cards. The berry for the center is free hand cut to give an even more folksy touch. This is a Holiday type pattern, but really could be used any other time. The orientation of design can be turned either way."
NotesThis project can also be listed as a holiday project.
