A Christmas table centre that comes ready made and hemmed: the design is printed on the fabric, so you stitch along the printed lines with no counting, and the print washes away afterwards, leaving only the embroidery.
Only a handful of classic stitches are needed, which makes it manageable for anyone with a little freestyle embroidery practice. The silver thread adds sparkle to the red and white stars on the light blue ground. An embroidery hoop or frame is not part of the kit, but it helps keep the fabric taut; a pair of small sharp scissors is useful too. Once finished, lay it on the table or under a bowl of baubles.
