Lorna
The red would be my choice.
Ann West
I would definitely pick the teal! Thanks.
Carol Rechtoris
I like the green and yellow combo. It is refreshing for late Summer. I am intrigued to do this project with my new hot hemmer. The NZP Seams Right would go good in my Sewing room too.
Cecilia
I would choose teal!
Cecilia
I would make the dinner size napkins.
Dixie
The teal would be my choice.
Kathy
Red-I need some excitement this summer.
Linda Clark
My favorite is the teal but I like them all.
Noreen
I like the red.. but teal is a close second.
Bridget
I would have to make the dinner size napkins. I think they would get the most use.
Connie
I would like the red or teal. I am still trying to find Nancy’s book for adjusting a pattern. I recently saw the video and am fascinated to try it.
Pat
I would make the napkins in the red colorway.
CLOVIS
All the colors would go good with black, but I think I would try the teal first.
Janet
I would make the dinner size napkins.
Jenny Rojas
I would be making the green dinner napkins.
Gail Beam
I would like to make the dinner napkins in red for Christmas.
Corrine K. Schlomer
My favorite color choice is the teal. I would make dinner size napkins because the large size is fun to fold and very dramatic for a table setting!
Nancy
I would like the dinner napkins. Thanks
Bonnye
I liked all of the colored napkins. Why not make several in each color. Unmatched dishes would look great too.
beth d.
I would love to make napkins for dinner. I would use them for when company comes for dinner.
Rosie
I really like the red color, although teal is a favorite of mine too. Thanks for the chance to win the Seams Right and fabric.
Susan Du
Dinner sized napkins is my preference but brunch is a favorite of mine as well so I’ll have to make both sizes!
Alice R Watts
Been making napkins as gifts and for myself. Thank you for the one side sewing. Trying it this week.
Diane Putzer
Dinner size napkins in red or teal.
Mary Ann Stauffacher
I would love the teal in the brunch or dinner size napkins. I see that they could be used as a runner on the table by placing them together. My husband brings a lot of roses in from his rose bushes so they could be the back drop for them! The teal would be perfect in our kitchen/dining area.
Margie
I love your show, but honestly, I had a hard time following the instructions in this tutorial. I am not a very good sewer or familiar with many terms. So I need very detailed instructions and real photos. The cartoonish images in this tutorial were not helpful to me as a novice. I really appreciate that you create these tutorials, but I much prefer real photos. Thanks much for taking my comment into consideration.
Kathy
Dinner napkins, teal with the mitered corners. Looked so neat.
Thanks
