My husband held up the tablecloth so that I could show that I have finished embroidering the border. Whoo-hoo.
I did some research about blocking embroidery and found a tutorial here. I don't think it's going to work for such a large area. I plan to wash the tablecloth and then iron it carefully while it is wet. I'll have to wait for the weather to clear up, I don't want it to take forever to dry. Then I'll begin sewing the tatted edging on. There's still some way to go, but I am making progress.
Jane, It looks wonderful! What a BIG project - it will look so wonderful with your tatted edge!

Your tablecloth looks great! The tatted edging is really going to make it extra special!
ReplyDeleteWOW, wish I was coming for tea. It will look amazing with the table set for tea.
ReplyDeleteSuch an incredibly beautiful embroidered tablecloth! (I would never have made it through the flower section, let alone the border OR the yardage of tatted edging.) Well done!
