I love mine, problem is my sewing room right now is also a storage room for several pieces of free sheet rock and some carpet scraps, but hey free is good.

I need to try that too. You all are so blessed to have such close friendships. I wish I could jet myself down there sometimes. They are so pretty! I need to try that too.

We are pretty much adults here (15 and up), so unless the napkin is dirty, we reuse it for the day. Supper meal usually does them in and the go to the laundry. Send us a picture of your daughter's cakes. :o) Glad she is enjoying her DVD. Stephenie,

If you didn't, it's fairly simple to do and looks wonderful on napkins. Just put wooly nylon thread in your upper looper and set your tensions like your book says. I love making ruffles and such with a rolled hem. Napkins would be perfect for rolled hems. Oh, you wouldn't have to use wooly nylon, but it "shrinks up" and fills in nicely.

I've been considering going to cloth for a while. I'm just curious, though, do you use cloth napkins for each meal? That will certainly add up or how do you do it at your house. Just wondering. Thanks! I love your blog and my daughter is really enjoying your Cake Decorating DVD. She is 10 and getting better all the time. About what are the dimensions of your napkins?
