I recently was looking for the same thing, my (now) daughter in law wanted a hankie embroidered and beaded for macedonian dancing at her weddin, to my son. I searched everywhere to no avail, I eventually found sets of two in David Jones, they are not linen only cotton and for that matter very thin, they cost $20 the pair. I eventually bought a white linem table napkin (serviette), which worked out much cheaper and better quality, its more the size of mans hankie, but it worked perfectly for what I wanted. As you want fifty, this may be the answer for you. If you have a Ray Toby in Qld check them out, they are a wholesaler of fabric and manchester, if they cant help ask one of your local linen hire services where they get their stock from. Hope this helps, cheers,Ruth

Dear Louise,

I was wondering whether or not they needed to be linen. I was thinking along the lines of Ruth too and maybe 'Best and Less' may have something you are looking for. You can get boxed sets of handkerchiefs but I am not sure how much they would cost. If all else fails check out "Google". Good luck hugs and blessings.

I know they will turn out beautifully.

Love Chris

Hi, I was going to suggest "Best and Less" or maybe even "Forges". If you haven't got one close to where you live, I might be able to check it out for you. Seeing the urgency, if they have anything you like, I could organize it for you. Good Luck! Mary, Melbourne

not sure if any of these would be ok

They are hard to find but I found some nice ones at the newsagent but were over $20 each and already embroidered white on white and couldn't see the design Some bridal shops have them

Have you tried AllAboutBlanks.com ? They have three styles of Irish linen hankies, and more cotton hankies. Best of luck.

Just a thought what about making them Spotlight would have the material at a reasonable price i have never made them but if you were unable to locate enough it might be an idea and embroider what you like on them and a nice lace border around similar to a placemat or coaster. good luck i hope you find what you need :)

Hi Louise, Try Embroider this.com, they have a huge selection of blanks to embroider on and the hanky link is on the first page.

hugs n roses, M

Just checked it out and they have a wonderful assortment to choose from, depending how large your bank balance is, though they may give a discount for 50. Some of them are absolutely gorgeous!!!!

I have made them with a rolled hem and embroidered lace across one corner

Thank you to all, sorry it took so long to reply, i was called into work for my boss, his wife gave birth to their 1st baby on sat morning but she was 2 months premie, i am praying all goes well for them the babe was only 570grms. He said she is doing fine but we still worry.
So, anyway, lots of work for me both at work and embroidering.
Louise :)
