Do I need a needlepoint border
by Deborah Cacho
(Nanjing China)
I am an expat living in Nanjing China. I brought several pieces to finish. The piece I am working on is surrounded by a border.
The last piece I finished, I added a three row ring around the entire piece for the finisher. Then, I moved from Richmond to Princeton. In Princeton I was told not to do this. Now I don't know what to do.
The piece is as follows:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
followed by the bulk of the pillow, which is abstract.
The above pattern is on all four sides of the pattern.
Am I supposed to put a border around the piece or stop where the pattern painting ends?
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Deborah Cacho
