This is a machine crochet cloth done in the hoop. It consists of one square which is repeated as many times as wanted then stitched together. I did not use embroidery thread but 80 watt polycotton. I couldn't get 50 watt so settled for the 80, the lower the number the thicker the cotton and then the bigger the square, I had done a few to see how they would come out with the different thicknesses of cotton.

Beautiful. Looks like the old time hand crochet ones. Nice work.
Bigdee, Very pretty. Where did you get the design? I crochet and really appreciate machine crochet. ( I made 22 afghans for gifts this past Christmas ) . A bouquet of flowers for you.
I crochet manually and this is wonderful. Congratulations. Really amazing. Flower and XoXo

bigdee, is this a repeat or did I get so excited with this - that my comment went into cyberspace? I love this designs - I did want to know where you got it from? How long did it take to stitch these 15 different designs out? It is lovely. I love this sort of work - the very best. *4U

Hi Shirlene, no this is the first one, the 'other' one must be in cyberspace!! lol The design came from
www.advanced-embroidery-designs.com
they take about 20-30 minutes to stitch out and, I used to just set them up and go do something else and just listern when the machine stopped or had a thread break. I just loved this design and 'had' to have it.
