I look for at least 12", I prefer 16" and higher, I have used 24" - my next one is a 24" repeat.

Look at the last download "Thread fun".
Her free downloads are good too for ideas.
Of course I can only aim to do it like her, but it is very forgiving because you can see where mine is "wonky", but the overall effect is good.

It looks like what it is hand done! and very pretty!!
