Well, thank you to all my cheerleaders, I think I'm nearly done now:
I wasn't looking forward to doing these: They all needed to be hooped in pretty much the same place to make all the embroideries appear in the same place.
Usually I hoop the item to be embroidered, but instead I hooped some sticky stuff, so that could stay in the hoop and I could stick the napkins to it.
I then drew a line to mark the placement of the napkin corner
And carefully lined up each napkin along the line
And stitched
Each embroidery took a chunk out of the sticky stabiliser which is why that looks at bit patchwork, but it all worked out fine, phew!

I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Yay for nearing the bottom of the list!
