Christmas Tree Napkin Serger Tutorial
Prepare Fabrics
- We’re featuring Christmas Christmas Memories Plaid and Christmas Memories Holly Berries Green Fabric, and Polyarn Serger Thread in Red & Green.
One yard each of two coordinating fabrics makes four Christmas Tree Dinner Napkins.
Streamline the cutting process and make a paper pattern!
Make Pattern
- Make our 30-Minute Christmas Tree Serger Napkins with Clover’s Supersize 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge and Pattern Making Paper.
- Trace an 18″ circle on Pattern Making Paper with Supersize 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge.
Supersize 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge Circle Compass Feature
- Hold the lower part of the “Push” mark on the Supersize 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge then move the gauge cursor to the 9″ marking. Insert the point of a Frixon Marking Pen into the opening while pressing the compass pivot point with your finger(at opposite end of gauge), then rotate gauge and mark circle line.
- Cut out circle pattern on marked line.
You’re the designer! Choose to make Dinner Napkins with 18″ circles, Brunch Napkins with 16″ circles, or Cocktail Napkins from 12″ circles!
Cut Out Fabrics
- Place fabric’s wrong sides together and pin circle pattern to fabric. And/or use Pattern Shape Weights to hold circle pattern in place.
- Cut two coordinating fabric circles for each napkin.
- Place circles wrong sides together. Pin.
- Set serger overlock machine for a 3-thread overlock stitch.
- Thread serger with Polyarn Serger Thread colors in upper and lower looper, and standard serger thread in needle.
Designed specifically for serger sewing, Polyarn has a “woolly-like” texture, resulting in increased stitch coverage! Polyarn is used in upper and lower loopers and is ideal for rolled hems, flatlocking, and chain stitching.
- Stitch napkin edges with three-thread overlock serger stitch, trimming away 1/8″-1/4″ fabric.
- Use a Double-Eyed Needle or a darning needle to bury ending threads between serger stitches.
- Using an Eze-View Pressing Cloth, press napkin.
Fold Napkin into Christmas Tree Shape
- Fold about 1/3 napkin top towards napkin back.
- Fold about 1/3 napkin left edges toward napkin front.
- Fold remaining right napkin edge to napkin back.
- Repeat steps above and make as many napkins as desired!
