Cross Stitch Embroidery Kit for Beginners to Make an 8 x 10 Inch Mini Table Runner in a Leaf Border Design
This cross stitch embroidery kit for beginners turns an interlocking leaf border into an 8 x 10 inch mini table runner. Terra cotta, gold, green and soft blue bring warm color to the ivory fabric, creating a small handmade accent for your table.
Simple cross stitches and a full color chart make this a welcoming first project, even if you have never cross stitched before. The kit includes cotton Mikini fabric, embroidery floss and a cross stitch needle, so you can work through the design using the included instructions.
The fabric arrives with serged raw edges to help prevent unraveling while you stitch. The drawn thread hem shown in the source photos is a separate finishing step to complete after stitching the design.
