I’m super excited to be here on Skip To My Lou today playing along with the Holiday Bake Craft & Sew Along. Such a fun idea and so many amazing gift-giving ideas shares already. I hope you enjoy my contribution.
Along the outer edge, about 1/2 inch in, sew a thick stitch all around the entire square. I recommend a satin stitch, which is just a zig zag set to it’s tightest stitch setting. I have a few decorative satin stitch options on my machine, so went with those
Now, as close to those thick stitches as you can, without clipping the actual stitch/threads, trim the outside edges
All the way around
I used my light box, but you could also tape the image, then the hankie, to a well-lit window and trace that way.

I like the end results of the hand embroidered better. It looks more authentic and handmade.
Not as fancy, but it works and is SUPER fast. And if you use variegated thread, it makes it more fun.
Embroider some initials, a favorite flower or two on a set and you have a wonderfully personal gift your recipient is sure to not be getting from anyone else.
And if you need a few more ideas, I’d love to have you check out my blog where I share tutorials and patterns for everything from reusable kitchen towels for your mother-in-law to fun wristlets for your girlfriends to fabric pots and pans for the kids on your list
This paragraph presents clear idea in support of the new visitors of blogging, that truly how to

I have a handkerchief that I need to get embroider. Can you let me know if you can do it or not. Thanks
Such a useful yet beautiful gift!
