Quick and easy "ITH" Stitched Border and Corner Blocks
blocks for hoops 8x8 or larger
This month is Flower Borders and Corners. These designs are done with a five-pass backstitch which creates a lovely bold stitch and works well with a 30-weight thread. These stitched designs work great to finish any of the 8” BOM blocks. I’ve also included Main blocks and Bean stitch bases for the Corners and Borders. The Bean Stitch bases will allow you to turn the Border and Corner designs into Main blocks.

Hi I'm PJ
Since 2006 I’ve been a teacher at Montavilla Sewing Centers in the Portland Metro area. I design, produce and teach the monthly projects for Babylock Serger Club, PJ’s Machine Embroidery Club, and 8” Block of the month Club.
I have a lot of fun creating projects, designs, and patterns that incorporate techniques and products to encourage the students to get the most out of their Sergers or Embroidery Machines.
