Skill Level: Experienced

Create these beautiful linen napkins for your table or as a gift

for a special bride.

Cuff Supplies:

• Dual Duty XP Fine thread in matching colors

• 54"-wide linen fabric (1/2 yard will make three napkins)*

• Water-soluble stabilizer 

• Freestanding lace embroidery designs (see Sources for 

details)

*TIP: Buy an extra 1/8 yard to ensure enough length after 

straightening the fabric.

Step 1:

1. Thread both needle and bobbin with the same color of 

Dual Duty XP Fine thread.

2. Hoop water-soluble stabilizer and stitch the freestanding

motifs needed for the number of napkins you plan to make.

3. Trim away the excess stabilizer, and follow the digitizer's

instructions to remove all the stabilizer from the embroidered

laces. Lay the lace at on a towel to dry. Lightly steam press,

if necessary, to atten any edges that curl.

4. Pull a thread across the fabric width to straighten oneedge of the linen. Cut along the pulled thread.

5. Divide the linen into 17" squares, pulling threads to ensure

straight cuts.

6. Press under 1/4" twice on each napkin edge. Miter the

corners to reduce bulk.

7. With Dual Duty XP Fine in needle and bobbin, stitch the

hems in place.

8. Position a lace motif at one corner of the napkin. Set the

machine for a zigzag stitch 2.0 - 2.5 mm wide and 1.0 mm

long. Stitch over the lace motif edges to join the lace to the

napkin.

9. Turn the napkin to the wrong side. Cut away the linen un-

derneath the lace, leaving a 1/2" hem allowance. Press the

hem allowances away from the lace (A).
