Frances vine (6) $12.00 USD
This vine is very similar to the Swirls one - but it has a bit of 'body' at the end of its tail.
It has a 'fat' sister - for those borders/sashes of a 'wider' proportion.
Giving this vine too much height results in the rounds becoming oval - not always that pretty!

This type of design makes extremely short work of sashes - once you use this type of design, there will be no looking back!
These patterns are sold as a set - as it is great to always have the desired multiple right on hand.
Design Features
- quick and accurate placement of the pattern using the point to point function
- the main design elements/features will not stitch on top of each other when the pattern crosses or turns on itself (see illustration)
- corners are self-turning
- the pattern stitches out very quickly and accurately
- tie offs are reduced to a minimum.
- points at 'cornerstone' intersections meet perfectly (and isn't this what is always noticed - especially if they don't!)
