Thanksgiving embroidery ideas
Popular Thanksgiving embroidery projects are cloth napkins with guests' initials, tea towels, a table runner, kids' turkey shirts, aprons and hostess gifts. A turkey, a slice of pumpkin pie or a cornucopia at 3 to 4 inches suits most of them; warm browns, orange and gold thread on cream or natural linen gives the harvest look.

Before you stitch
- Wash and press linen napkins before stitching so they don't shrink around the design later.
- Use tear-away on napkins and runners so they lie flat, and a topping on terry tea towels.
- Add names, initials or the year with the text tool and stitch them under the design.
