About Border
This is the one we reach for when the request is bordado. Border keeps it simple, which is why it sits here rather than in the reserve pile. The save count is still small at 6, so read this as our opinion and not a consensus. No reviews either way, so the preview is doing all the work on this one.
Borders live or die on alignment. Mark the centre line on the fabric with a water-soluble pen before the first hooping, not after. We would use it the way the listing hints — bordure — and that is also where we would start if you are trying it for the first time. One thing we always do and you should too: open the preview full size. A thumbnail hides exactly the detail that decides whether bordado is really what you are getting.
Type border, border embroidery, colorful and embroidery border into the search above and this one comes back — the same pattern under four different habits of phrasing. Nearby you will see borders, which is where to go if this one is nearly right but not quite. We filed it under Border Embroidery Designs for the obvious reason, and the shelf is small enough to read end to end.

- Sew a quick version in cheap fabric first if the shape is new to you; the second one is always the one you keep.
