Napkin Recipez
Napkin Recipez Teaching Notes
*The focus on these classes may be the block or the napkin.
- If the block is the focus then spend time on demonstrating its intricacies
before students make their first block. In this case the napkin simply
becomes a vehicle for making a quick achievable project.
- If the napkin is the focus then it may be advisable for the students
to come with their premade blocks. Time can then be spent in class
making well finished napkins.
*Encourage experimentation. We have included ‘Other Ingredients’
and ‘Changing Flavours’ to encourage both student and
teacher input. Simply changing sizes may be challenging enough for
some students.
*Try making samples with different blocks. You may have a new technique
you want to try out or promote. We’d be happy for Napkin Recipez
to be used as a vehicle for your ideas.......machine embroidery, redwork,
paper pieced blocks?
*Napkin Recipez is a great way to get new customers hooked on stitching.
The projects are easily made in day and skills can be built up in
a series of classes. Why not make it a beginners course and teach
them the skills of rotary cutting and using their machines?

1. Hold the class for block making as a first class, in the second
week the napkins can be made.
