Beautiful...! But, can I make one suggestion? If you are going to make these napkins, don't do them in white. I have embroidered/made loads of this type, but get a soft color or small print instead. My awful experiences have been that if they are used...and they should be, that is what they are for...they look terrible after a couple uses because you cannot get all the food/drink stains out of them. You can try soaking, etc., but you have to be so careful of the embroidery colors.

My best ones are made in a soft dark gold/brown blended fabric and the designs are embroidered in light colors. They really show up nice and little "stains" are not at all noticeable.

I used tear a way stabilizer. I like the idea of using another color fabric other then white. even a light tan etc. Thanks for the suggestions.

The light tan, gold, sounds good. But, also consider a dark napkin. If these are Christmas ones, what about a dark green, or red. Even splitting them, making 6 green and 6 red would be good. Also, I have done them on navy blue, and they were terrific looking!! Using lighter embroidery colors, with some gold threads, they were absolutely gorgeous. Looked extremely expensive!!
