A ready-hemmed table runner to embroider: the design is worked in cross stitch straight onto the white Aida, following a chart printed with large squares that is easy on the eyes. The two robins, the pumpkin and the sprigs of holly make a seasonal decoration for the table, a sideboard or a hall console through autumn and Christmas.
Everything needed for the stitching is in the kit: there is no sewing or finishing to do, as the edges are already hemmed. A hoop or small frame is handy to keep the area you are working on taut. Once finished, a gentle wash and pressing face down on a soft towel are all it needs.
