I intend to use these as Christmas place settings but not entirely happy with them as the ends of the names is ragged perhaps will try to embroider the ends by hand! I ruined 2 until I got it right as thy are originally intended as applique.
7498I think they are so precious. The ones they are intended for will only see the love. We tend to be our worse critics. By the way enlarged the picture couldn't see what you were talking about.
19439Beautiful job and you have given me an idea for our family Christmas dinner.

299559These are adorable! What a great idea for place holders. Embrace the raggy ends... that's kinda stylish these days (think burlap!)
9754This is a great idea for place names! I think I'd just put a little Fray Check on the ends of the ribbons and not bother with embroidering them.

First thing I thought - Carolyn is coming to dinner at Gill's. These are really nice and everyone will have a memento - or you will for another year's dinner.
360660I agree with 1ladyb below. You may have to place a scrap of tear away underneath,as you will be sewing the edge. They are so pretty. Maybe the next one you do try on your regular sewing machine to do a tight zizag before you trim the edge off. They really are cute and I know how hard you worked.

6257Use a zig zag stitch in the same color as the area where the name is, that should do the trick. Use a stitch about the same size as the satin stitch above and below the name field. They are really cute.
