Crazy Patch Christmas Ornaments In-the-Hoop Machine Embroidery

Today, I’m here with a fun in-the-hoop machine embroidery project. These Christmas machine embroidery designs are crazy patch ornaments. I made these ornaments in-the-hoop with my embroidery machine and designs purchased from Designs by Juju.

I have four designs: the Christmas tree, mitten, stocking, and heart. These ornaments are quick, easy to make, and perfect for using scrap fabric or a charm packCrazy Patch Christmas Ornaments - fb

About the Crazy Patch Designs

These ornaments are completed in the hoop, which means they are finished and only need to be trimmed around the outside with pinking shears after stitching is complete. The stitch time on these ornaments is about 5 – 6 minutes. Because of the trimming and adding fabrics, the ornaments will take a bit longer, around 20 – 30 minutes.

Other crazy patch designs from Designs by Juju are gingerbread, star, bell, snowflake, snowman, finial, ornament, and Santa hat. The regular price for these designs is $7 each, but Designs by Juju regularly has sales, so wait for a sale and purchase them much cheaper.

The designs come in three hoop sizes, 4x4, 5x7, and 6x10, and files are available for most embroidery machines. The following formats are available: ART, DST, EXP, JEF, HUS, PCS, PES, SEW, VIP, VP3 & XXX.  

Each design includes a printable PDF step-by-step photo tutorial, thumbnail PDF, and color chart PDF.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.7.1

Making the ornaments

Since Designs by Juju includes a step-by-step photo tutorial for every purchase, this article will only show some photos of the basic steps in making one of the ornaments.

The tear-away stabilizer is hooped, and the first stitch is a placement stitch for the batting.  The batting is placed to cover the placement stitch, stitched down, and trimmed.

The steps for machine applique embroidery designs will include a placement stitch for each fabric and a tack-down stitch. Below is the placement stitch for the first fabric. Crazy Patch Ornament_1.13.1

Place the fabric and stitch. Trim close to the inner seams.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.13.2

After stitching the following placement line, place the next fabric with a seam allowance.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.14.1

Open the fabric and finger-press the seam. Stitch the decorative stitching.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.17.1

Continue to stitch the steps (placement, tack down, decorative stitches) until all fabrics are placed. A placement stitch will indicate where to tape the ribbon on the back.  Stitch the ribbon.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.27.1

Add the backing fabric to the back of the hoop and tape it in place.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.30.1

Stitch the final stitch around the edge of the ornament.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.32.1

Remove the ornament from the hoop and carefully tear away the stabilizer.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.35.1

Pinking shears give these ornaments a nice decorative edge and help prevent them from fraying. Trim around the ornament.Crazy Patch Ornament_1.36.1
