Teresa,
The one I got had the center opening much smaller, I did not
follow the pattern exactly (of course I seldom do).
So yes you could cross stitch, hand embroider, use a prettier
print, or even use iron "embroidery" patches already made.
I also used one layer of insulbright in mine which made it
thicker, but I think next time I may just use a single piece
of flannel as my "batting" to help cut down on the thickness.
Here is mine and the one I received. In picture #2 you can see
the difference in thickness.
