I actually purchased this tablecloth to be used as a winter curtain for our glass front door.  The material is stunning and the stitches are nice and straight.  There is, however, a pattern of knit work that can't be seen well in the main product image.  I have taken a close-up photo of this.  It goes around the border and is about 5" from the edge.  Regardless, it's beautiful and will be absolutely perfect for its (not so) intended use. :)
