Create a bold and colorful holiday statement with this Faux Chenille Merry and Bright design, featuring our signature, show-stopping LP faux chenille look. This technique is stitched directly on top of heat transfer vinyl (HTV), allowing you to achieve a dimensional, fluffy chenille effect with zero trimming required—just stitch, tear away the excess HTV, and enjoy.
The bright, groovy, chunky word-art lettering spells out Merry and Bright, accented with sparkles for an extra festive pop. The faux chenille portion looks especially eye-catching when stitched over black glitter HTV, as pictured, but also works beautifully with other colors of glitter and flocked HTV. This design is perfect for sweatshirts, tees, tote bags, pillows, and boutique holiday apparel where you want high visual impact and texture without the difficulty of trimming tiny fabric pieces.
While this design includes a higher stitch count, it saves time and frustration by allowing your machine to create a texture that would be nearly impossible to cut by hand—especially at smaller sizes.
