About this design
Round Spirals Border shows a golden diagonal stem lined with eight spiral rosettes, each outlined in gold and filled with salmon on a white ground. A few small turquoise leaves punctuate the stem, giving a graphic, decorative look close to traditional borders.
This 69 mm square sits nicely in the corner of a tea towel or hand towel, on a pouch, or repeated along a cushion. On linen or medium cotton, a tear-away stabiliser is enough for this machine embroidery; choose a light background, ecru or soft grey, so the white in the spirals stays visible.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 4 threads: white, gold, salmon, turquoise. The names give the closest shade; pick the one you like in your thread brand.
- Hoop the fabric in a 10 × 10 cm hoop with a stabiliser: tear-away for woven fabric (cotton, linen, canvas), cut-away for stretchy fabric (T-shirt, sweatshirt, bodysuit).
- Stitch the colours in this order: white → gold → white → salmon → turquoise → gold → salmon. The machine stops at each thread change (6 changes, 63 trims).
- Allow about 15 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 6,440 stitches in all.
- For another size, open the design in the studio rather than enlarging it on the machine: the stitches are recalculated and the density stays right.
