My new love on the embroidery machine! "Cutwork Lace". Have you tried it yet? I googled cutwork embroidery and came up with lots of designs. Bought the lace napkin at the thrift store for 50 cents. My daughter made me buy 6 of them. Glad I did now.

I love this and it's fresh look. I haven't done cut work yet and guess there is needles out there for some machines that do. Thank you as you have inspired me.

There are cutwotk needles that do the cutting for, but there aren't many designs for them, so you'd need software to digitise the cutting lines.
I did not use a special needle. I put water soluable stabelizer under the napkin in the hoop, stitched the first color. Then very carfully cut out all the emclosed areas. Then stitched the second color and that's it. Done. Sharp manicure scissors work well for this. Try it. :-) Susan
That's how I do it too.

very nice. Cutwork takes more time but IMO is well worth the effort. I personally prefer cutwork to FSL. xx

Love this design, I have this one or one like it. I so want to do some cutwork, just haven't got to it yet. I guess I will someday. I would like to have a dragonfly design in cw. You did a great job and you got a bargain in the napkins for 50 cents each. I bought some linen a while back to make some napkins but it is still on the shelf. LOL funny it won't make itself.,

Beautiful job! I haven't done any cut work. I think I'm afraid I will cut something I shouldn't and ruin it. I will have to practice that.

You've got a really nice result with this and the napkins were a great buy as well. I love shopping at those places. Never know quite what you'll find.
