Honeybee Hive adds a minimum 3" border around all sides of its printed patterns.  This means that there is 3" or more of space beyond the hookable pattern, which will allow you to properly mount the pattern on a frame.
For example, a 15" x 15" pattern will be printed on a backing material that is at least 21" x 21" so there is 3" all the way around the design.
If you would like a larger border please send us a message, or email us at  patterns@rughook.com. Be sure to provide your name, order number, the pattern number and name, as well as the size of the border you wish to have. Depending on the size of the additional border, there may be a nominal additional fee.
