A ready-made Christmas tablecloth with gnomes and reindeer printed around the edges: you stitch straight onto the printed design, with no counting involved. Alongside cross stitch there are long stitches and back stitch outlines, both explained in the enclosed instructions.
The printed design washes out, so you simply work over the coloured lines and launder the piece once it is finished. It is a large but straightforward project, well suited to less experienced stitchers; a hoop moved around the cloth makes the work easier. When complete, the tablecloth is ready to use on the table over the festive season.
