Cross Stitch Magenta Zigzag Border

About this design

This cross stitch magenta zigzag border embroidery design is a clean, minimal running border of small stepped diamond blocks stitched in solid magenta-pink, worked entirely in x-shaped cross stitches. Three chunky diamond-shaped clusters stagger down in a zigzag rhythm against an open cream background, creating a bold single-color trim with a folk and Scandinavian feel. The narrow, repeating layout makes it ideal as a border or edging: run it vertically or horizontally along a hem, cuff, pocket, towel band or table-linen edge, or tile it to any length. Try it on tea towels and kitchen towels, guest and hand towels, napkins, table runners and placemats, pillowcase and cushion edges, blouse and dress cuffs and plackets, shirt pockets, aprons, tote bags and pouches, quilt borders and blocks, and framed hoop art. It also stitches up as a handy handmade accent for folk-style projects and needlework fans, well suited to housewarmings, Mother's Day, birthdays and teacher or thank-you gifts. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
