Here is my first table cloth I made for my cousin. The designs are from Tea Tree Embroidery. The table cloth is six feet from side to side.

Thank you, I was a little nervous on the last hooping for the scallop border.. if it would line up or not.

Thanks everyone, The scallop is 5 scallops together that fit into my 6 x 10 hoop. I re-hooped about 24 times around the table cloth. I do not have an endless hoop...maybe some day.

The biggest hoop I have is a 6 x 10... so I just re-hooped about 24 times.

A lovely tablecloth! Placement on round cloths is a bit challenging, I usually do it by folding; you did a great job. And the colours are nice and fresh.

I folded the cloth in half then in fourths then again and ironed a crease. I also placed pins along the edge where I wanted the top on the scallop. Thanks

I want to thank everyone for their compliments.The table cloth has been my biggest project so far. I also have to say thanks for all the inspiration for all of yous, yes I have been looking for a while at all of your beautiful projects. I have smaller projects in line for right now. I will be working on place mats, napkins, napkin rings, coaster, kitchen towels etc for my friend's wedding gifts. Then I will be working on making curtains for my place and this year's Christmas gifts.

I bought some tablecloths last summer at a yard sale for pennies. I would love to embroider them, but am hesitant to start. I'm not sure how to do the scalloped edges, but you have done a splendid job!! Very pretty!
