Free Borders

I was wondering if any of you can recommend any websites where I could find border patterns?

I made a terrible error with one of my pieces a few months ago, and need to hide it with a border. I keep meaning to get a book with these kind of things in.

I just went to Patterns Online and they have 338 in their border secttion http://www.patternsonline.com/Patterns/List.aspx I would think 123stitch also. I can't think of a freebie link right off but will look more after work.

Ok, cheers! Some great designs on site!! Have added to favourites.

I just need something fairly simple, even just backstitched and "scrolly", sorry I'm not being very clear am I? My brain like custard today!

Oooh, another site I can add to my faves, thank-yuo.

I've actually started dooodling on some graph paper. Its for the join lines on my mermaids picture(in galley). I had either ordered the wrong size or recieved wrong size, prob the first

and did not discover until had stitched half the design!

I ordered another piece and attached but the join is still bout an inch into the stitching both top and bottom....

So, because of the design I thought I might get away with a nice swirly/scrolly backstitched in gold Kreinik with maybe a spattering of beads band at top and bottom.

Hope that makes sense!!
