Learning to Embroider on Linens is fun and very rewarding. Embroidered linens make such great gift items for almost any occasion. You can take an inexpensive set of plain white napkins and turn them into an elegant wedding or shower gift item that has a very high perceived value. I love to work on linens!

Tablecloth Embroidery is very creative. You can embroider a monogram in several locations, or in one location. You can also embroider a custom design in the center of the tablecloth. It all depends on how large the table and the table cloth are, how the table will be displayed, and how it is placed in the room.
Embroidered or Monogrammed tablecloths are heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation. This creates a unique gift item with a very high perceived value. This is how it must be positioned in most markets. It is basically a niche market item.

Napkins are easy to embroider. They are available in many different sizes and a variety of fabrics. You can find very inexpensive napkins to work with as well as very expensive linen napkins. Basic White Napkins are an item that can be kept in stock and embroidered quickly when a customer is looking for quick gift items. They are also a popular item with wedding planners who can be a good client to market to. I keep at least 12 dozen in stock at all times.

Video: Hooping & Sewing A Monogram Or Embroidery On Napkins
In this embroidery training video, I show you how to hoop and embroider a 3 letter monogram in the corner of napkins. As you watch this video, you will notice that I hooped and loaded the napkin into the machine with the bulk of the fabric at the top. It is actually better to hoop, load, and run the napkin and monogram upside down. This keeps the majority of the fabric away from the machine. That way, there is less chance of damage and it keeps the napkin clean.
Napkins make a lovely gift item for many occasions such as weddings, bridal showers, anniversaries, birthdays, housewarmings, and Christmas. I keep white napkins on hand at all times for emergencies. This is a quick and easy item to embroider and everyone is thrilled to receive them. You can turn a very inexpensive set of napkins into a gift item that appears to be very expensive.
