MATERIALS

• Utilize linen or cotton fabric (see “Source”)
• Employ wash-away stabilizer.
• Choose a fabric marker, like Frixion.
• Have a point turner on hand.
• Acquire alphabet Christmas designs.

PREPARATION

• Cut four 18" squares from the fabric and meticulously press to eliminate any creases.

• Fold the edges towards the wrong side by ½" and press firmly.

• Keep the folds intact, folding the right sides together along one corner to create a point.

• Using the folded edge as a guide, mark a line at 90°, commencing where the raw edge meets the folded edge (A).

Tip: Employing a clear acrylic ruler for marking this line allows you to align the folded edge with the ruler's markings.

CONSTRUCTION

• Stitch along the marked line, securing stitches at both ends. Trim excess fabric to ¼" from the stitched seam.

• Finger press the seam open and flip it towards the right side. Use a point turner to push out the corners and press.

• Secure the seam in place, stitching 1⁄8" from the inside folded edge (B).

• Indicate the embroidery design's location with a fabric marker.

REPEAT PROCESS Repeat the aforementioned steps with the remaining napkin squares.

EMBROIDERY PROCESS

• Download the embroidery design and upload it onto the embroidery machine.

• Secure a piece of wash-away stabilizer and a napkin in the hoop. Attach the hoop onto the machine.

• Stitch the design, adjusting colors as necessary.

• Once the machine completes the embroidery, remove the hoop and carefully detach the napkin from it.

• Rinse the napkin under water to dissolve the stabilizer completely. Lay it flat to dry.
