Wash, dry (using no fabric softener) and press fabrics. Cut fabric to
desired width and length of tablecloth. Cut out napkins.
Press under 1/4 inch along edges of napkins. Lay wrong side up. Lay tape,
paper side up, along pressed edges of fabric. Lightly glide iron across
paper for one or two seconds. Do not remove paper backing. Turn pressed
edge over another 1/4 inch and press in place. Unfold pressed edge and remove
paper backing. Refold and fuse with iron.
Fuse sheets of paper-backed webbing, paper side up, onto wrong side of
applique fabric. Allow to cool. Cut out motifs and remove paper backing.
Arrange appliques along edges of tablecloth, overlapping them slightly to
create a continuous line. Be sure applique fabric is completely on top tablecloth
fabric and not sticking over an edge. Fuse in place.
Trim edges slightly inside appliqued area, cutting through both applique
and tablecloth fabric.
Add a single motif to napkin. Follow previous directions for fusing in
place.
Add beads or other embellishments to motif.
