Napkin for Christmas.
After the design for Halloween (which we don't celebrate in the Netherlands) I started on Christmas designs (which we do celebrate ;)). Made a napkin design (did the complete alphabet) and used a placement line. This is a test stitch. I made the left leaf a bit slimmer, did the leaves in two shades of green instead of one. Now I have to find some not too expensive napkins and stitch them out for the whole family.

Thank you. Yes, I could, but I hate those 1 cm hems, especially the corners.
Martine, I do a rolled hem with my overlocker. Hugs Yvonne

The font is called French Script MT and is one that I had in Word.

This looks very elegant. Instead of celebrating Halloween where you live do you have some kind of harvest celebration?

Martine, this is lovely work - you have been busy - but the proof is in - if you get the set done for your family to use at Christmas. I don't doubt you will, either. *4U

Thanks Shirlene, and I will certainly get the set done - they have about 5300 stitches - depending on the letter - and with only 4 colours my 4-needle machine makes stitching a pleasure. *4U and anybody else.

So what brand machine do you have? and it changes colors for you? Is this one of your own designs? I thought I had found them all - I will go back and check - I do not want to miss a thing! Lookin good! christine LLDS!

I have a.o. a Melco EP4, a 4-needle machine, which means I can do designs with up to 4-colours without changing thread. And I have a beautiful Husqvarna /Viking Ruby that I use for almost anything else.
It is my own design and I did not post this one, but if people are interested I could do so.

it would mean I'd have to post 26. Which is a bit of a chore.
