About this design
Four decorative borders stacked in bands — the sheet is a sampler rather than a single motif, which makes it the right choice for hemming a towel or a pillowcase. The video is the longest in the library at fourteen minutes because it works through every band.
Best after one finished hoop
This design uses 5 stitches and two of them need a little practice.
Before you start
- Stitch one band at a time and finish it completely; the borders are designed to be read as separate rules, not blended together.
- Keep a ruler handy for the repeat spacing — the bands only look deliberate when the gaps are even.
The pattern sheet
What you print: one A4 page.
The finished hoop above was stitched from this sheet. Print the file at 100% and the design comes out at its real size — the sheet already carries the pattern dimensions and the DMC colour numbers, so there is nothing to work out before you start.

Common questions
Before you download it.
Do I need to know any stitches before I start?
No. The design uses 5 stitches — Border Design 1 | Stem Stitch, Border Design 2 | Bullion Stitch + Stem Stitch, Border Design 3 | Fishbone Stitch + Lazy Daisy Stitch, Border Design 4 | Straight Stitch and Border Design 5 | Lazy Daisy Stitch + Chain Stitch — and the video works through each one from the first loop.
Is there a video tutorial for this pattern?
Yes — it runs 14:29 and is split into 10 timestamped chapters, listed above. Each chapter jumps straight to the part of the video where that stitch is worked.
Can I get this design as a kit instead of a printable pattern?
This page is the free A4 pattern only. ETSPIL kits ship a design pre-printed on the fabric with threads, hoop and a bound manual, so there is nothing to transfer — the kit range sits on our Amazon storefront.
