I bought these serviettes (aka table napkins) in Poundland last summer and thought it was time I did something with them. They are polycotton which is probably why they are a bit puckered. The leaf design is part of a bigger one from Urban Threads,

The leaves give the napkins a lovely finished touch....your choice of colours blend perfectly with a pop as always. I now know why puckering sometimes happens to some of my projects....thought I had a grey cell moment when hooping instead of thinking about the fabric used.
Thanks for sharing!

it is very pretty. I am looking for a embroidery machine applique pattern for a cup and sauces - using it for a serviettes holder -

These are very summery and cheerful! I embroider on poly/cotton napkins all the time with no puckering. I don't think it was the poly that caused this problem, but perhaps the weight/weave of the fabric needed a different kind of stabilizer. I find with a finer weave, like what your napkins appear to have, almost always gives me puckers until I get the stabilizer right.

Interesting. If I use polycotton, it always looks OK until it meets the iron!

They are lovely Sue, it is a shame they look puckered, but I am sure they look good when you look at them without the camera I think it often makes things look bad because of the light reflection, Bit like us when we look in some mirrors. lol.
Hugs Pam.

I really like these! The puckers will not be noticed after they are used a few times! :-)
