A ready-hemmed table runner printed with sprays of lily of the valley: there is no counting involved, you simply follow the printed lines using satin stitch for the flowers and stem stitch for the stalks. Once the embroidery is done, a wash removes the printed outlines and leaves only the stitching.
The three shades of stranded cotton come with the kit, along with the needle and instructions, so nothing else is needed to get started, although a hoop or frame helps keep the fabric taut and the stitches even. The long, narrow shape suits a dining table or a sideboard, and the linen-cotton blend washes and presses easily for a fresh spring table.
