Good morning Everyone...I finally have just about all the plates-cups/saucers-pitchers-teapots/coffee pots- silverware-cake plates etc that i need...SO I have about 12 days off in the next couple of weeks..I want to start doing the table napkins and table cloths for the Tea shoppe...I could use all knowledgeable advice on size-fabric to use and especially how to embroidery the corners to perfection..Who's designs for napkin corners do you suggest I use...any and all information would be helpful..THANKS IN ADVANCE...

Just would like to wish you so much luck with this fabulous concept. Please keep us in touch. Hugs Sarah

For some reason napkins and coasters are hard to command a good price for your efforts making them, so I would suggest to keep the designs very simple and low stitch count. i have used Sonia Showalter's free napkin placement for years and it is a life saver for us that do not digitize. It marks perfect placement every time. Kay

I had given my self 2 years to collect everything i need plus take schooling in pastries and cake decorating for rose frostings and deco...I finally narrowed my name for the shoppe down...I will be checking to see if it has been taken somewhere else...

I definitely need an address so I can stop by next time I drive up!

You will be the first to know....

Take a look at the napkin corners at Sonia Showalter Designs, only if you want perfection. ;)
The link below is from a search using the word, corner.
