Make thyme at the table

Thyme is an evocative herb, its scent transporting us to hot summer days on Greek hills, sitting down to a meal with family, or standing around the BBQ with our friends.

Stitch out these thyme embroidered placemats so you can make even more happy memories associated with this fragrant herb.

Material suggested

We used a ready-made linen placemat.


Stabiliser required

Tearaway or trick film for floating.


Stitch out tips and techniques

Placemats are usually too small to hoop on their own and need to be ‘floated’ on the backing stabiliser.
We recommend that you float the placemat on top of tearaway or trick film.
Hoop a double layer and place the placemat on top. Secure with a basting stitch.
A flat magnetic hoop will work well too, but you may still have to add stabiliser to get good placement.
