About Cross Stitch Border
Cross Stitch Border earned its place here for one reason: it is a straight answer to border design, and straight answers are rarer in this pattern catalogue than you would think. It sits at 32 saves — too few to call it popular, which is exactly why it is worth a look before everyone else finds it. There are no reviews on it yet, so judge it by the preview and not by a score that does not exist.
If you want one use for it, take cross stitch: that is the direction the designer clearly had in mind, and it is the one we would follow. Borders live or die on alignment. Mark the centre line on the fabric with a water-soluble pen before the first hooping, not after. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every pattern on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.
Filed as border, border embroidery design, cross stitch border design and cross stitch embroidery design. Tags are a rough instrument, but a consistent set like that usually means the file is what it claims. People after this usually search borders too, and the shelf is sorted so those all land in the same place. On this site it lives on the Border Embroidery Designs shelf, so it also turns up for people browsing border embroidery designs rather than searching for it by name.

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