Festive Christmas Napkins Embroidery Project

Print templates of both designs.

Hoop napkin ON POINT, trying to hoop 1/2" from hem line.

Float tear away backing under the hooped napkin, after you hoop only the napkin, place hoop on machine, slip 2 sheets of tear away backing under the hoop.

Using single fold bias tape or other flat trim, stitch onto hem line of napkins. Stitch the outside edge first by folding under 1/4" and placing over hem line of napkin. Never start at a corner. For mitered corners, stop stitching 1/4"from corner, backstitch a couple of stitches, remove napkin from under the needle. Rotate napkin a quarter turn and fold binding straight up away from corner forming a 45 degree angle fold. Bring binding straight down in line with next edge to be sewn, leaving top fold even with edge of previously sewn side. When you reach the starting point cut off extra bias or trim allowing 1/4" to turn under. Butt the two ends to gather and finish stitching.
