Cloth Napkins

One Layer Napkins Fringed

Make sure fabric looks the same on both sides. Gingham is a good example. This is not always necessary, but it does make them prettier.
1. Wash and dry fabric.
2. Iron is needed.
3. Cut a template out of cardboard or poster board to the size you need. 10″ 12″ 16″
etc.
4. Cut out your squares. A rotary cutter works very well.
5. Set your sewing machine to a zig-zag stitch or a straight stitch will work also. Run a
line of stitching on all four sides approximately ½ inch in from the edge.
6. Fringe each side of your napkin at least 5 rows of threads. They will fringe more as
they are washed, but the zig-zag will prevent them from fringing to far.
