I make each item with care, but there may be slight imperfections in the seams. I hope you will enjoy using it. The thread ends are secured with overlapping stitches. I used a fine-weave, supple Shin-mos (100% cotton), which is finer than standard bleached cotton, and black thread. The outer circle is cross-stitched with white thread. I am also selling on other sites, so the listing may be removed. Approximately 32.5cm x 33cm
