Run for the Border!
Free Project Instructions!
Projects and possibilities are endless with unique border, corner, and accent designs. A small accent can add a whisper-subtle touch, while a dramatic border calls out, "Look at me!" It's fun to energize items when you run for the border with these new designs!
Renew home decor by embroidering Arts & Crafts stained-glass and striking Baroque floral designs onto pillows and wall-hangings. Summer and autumn garments thrive with nature when adorned with simple English ivy, colorful mushroom clusters, and little acorns. Get ready for a bath or the beach by adding Seven Seas sailing adventures and lively whales to towels.
Children will love dancing robots on their backpacks and darling dogs and cats on their clothes and bedding. Teens and tweens will deem contemporary swirls and heraldic lions "cool" when added to jackets and tote bags.
Don't walk! Run down the page to see new designs for everyone.
Bright and sunny Rubber Waffle Placemats are perfect for summer patio get-togethers and picnics in the park!
Corner designs are traditionally placed on...well...corners. But say "Yes" to non-traditional placement, too! In this example, the robot corner becomes a feature on the right side of a child's shirt, a playful companion to the robot that's in the traditional "left chest" placement. Mix, match, and move! Arrange and re-arrange designs on any garment or item until it looks exactly the way you think it should.
Combinations are limitless when pairing table linens with borders, corners, and accents. When you set the table, you can also set the mood with a wide variety of design elements.
If you're new to stitching designs close to the edge of a napkin or placement, free project instructions from EmbroideryLibraryProjects.com will be a great guide.
Simple, pretty English ivy will add a natural touch to summer bed linens. Stitch in hues of gold, red, and bronze for autumn, too. The medium size of this design has been formatted for the Endless Hoop; may also be used in standard hoops.
Arrange, rearrange, and repeat! The coordinating artistic elements between the borders, corners, and features, means that you can create your own print and pattern in any project. Flip corner designs, place them back to back or in an inverted diamond. Make a continuous weave of corners along a hemline by alternating an "up" version with a "down" version. Explore different colors, and let your creative muse take control!
Organic elements, like mushrooms and flowers, are wonderful on gardening gear, and patio linens too. Arrange the borders on the edges of placemats, and the single mushroom on a napkin for flavorful outdoor dining. Remember the kitchen linens, too! Stitch the mushroom caps and flowers in the colors that match your kitchen, and enjoy the fashionable and coordinated effect.
Available in three sizes: 2.21"X9.41" and 1.60"X6.00" and 1.37"X3.16"
Smallest size is split into two pieces. Both pieces are smaller than 1.37"X3.16"
Even though you may prefer Twinkies and Pop Tarts to soy milk and rice cakes, you can still dress up your kitchen appliances with healthy, fresh fruit. Free project instructions at EmbroideryLibraryProjects.com will show you how to make a tea cozy, and a toaster cozy, too. Don't stop there! Cozy up to your other kitchen appliances, too -- the blender, the toaster oven, even the coffee pot!
