I had initially made napkin holders for our son and new bonus daughter's rehearsal dinner - then a change in the menu make these much too formal. So, I offered to stitchout and make 60 more so they all could be used for the formal wedding reception. Yes, it was a job - but, with my new embroidery machine - I could do six in a hoop. Each hooping did take a while to stitchout though! The font is called Wedding Bliss (I didn't pick it from the name - honest!). The font came from a site that is no longer in business. So, all in all, I made well over one hundred - trimmed them, and installed snaps. They had to be grouped by couples. I had many of our friends and family come up to me at the wedding and tell me how much they loved their gift. Ryan's twin, Bradley will be married next year in December. I bet I will be busy then! Hugs to all, Laura

This was a tad time consuming - but such an easy design. I was so happy to do it for them. When they went around to each table - they told everyone who made them and that they should take them home. I was pleased! Hugs!!

145302Brilliant job! They do look so elegant and fit the occasion very well. Are they stitched on a leather? Congratulations on a very professional project!

These are stitched on marine vinyl (faux leather). It is a very easy design - the flourish and font took longer to stitch than the holder did. Thank you for your kind words! Hugs, Laura

Oh, Angie - you are so right. At one point I realized I needed to stitchout six "J"s - and accidentally stitchout six "T"s - yikes, I didn't need six of those - but, I was tired and not concentrating like I should have. The Napkin Holders ended up being a big hit and our couple really appreciated them. That is what matters most! Thanks so much, Laura
