Make a Simple Hem
Step 1:
Cut the fabric into one 18” square
Step 2:
With wrong sides together, fold one edge
over ¼” and press in place. Fold over another ¼”
and press again. The raw edge is now enclosed in
the fold.
Step 3:
Repeat Step 2 on the edge across from the
edge you just folded.
Step 4:
Pin the two pressed and folded edges in
place.
Step 5:
At the machine, stitch the hems in place,
keeping your stitches about 1/8” from the folded
edge. One trick is to put the right outside edge of the
presser foot against the fold to keep a straight line.
Step 6:
Repeat steps 2-5 for the remaining two oppo-
site edges of the napkin. Pay special attention to the
corner folds, as there is added bulk in that seam.
Step 7:
Press the finished napkin. Repeat steps to
complete additional napkins.
