Preface:

Since I needed 10 napkin rings and was using them also as gifts, I edited the project by duplicating the design six times, as many as could fit in one large commercial hoop. I cut and pasted the outline and border of each napkin ring to run separately. This project can also be run singly, using a smaller hoop.

Step 1:

Because applique fabric is heavy and backed with adhesive, backing during this step is not necessary. Hoop the applique fabric.

Step 2:

Place embroidery hoop on machine and embroider design.

Step 3:

When the embroidery is finished, remove the fabric from the hoop. Using the outline created by the design, cut out each of the pieces.

Step 4:

Place the embroidered pieces on a protected surface, right sides down. Apply spray adhesive lightly to each.

Step 5:

Hoop tear-away backing. Attach hoop to embroidery machine and embroider the outlines of the napkin rings.

Step 6:

Place the embroidered and sprayed napkin rings in the hoop, one on each outline. Press into place so they saty positioned during the embroidery of the outline.

Step 7:

Embroider the borders.

Step 8:

Remove the backing from the embroidery hoop. Carefully tear each napkin ring from the backing. Using an iron or a heat press, permanently adhere the backing to the napkin ring.
