Sorry to burst your ballon a cutie put this up in projects some time ago,she made them for her grandchildren,wanted something that would wash easy. I have made quite a few sets for family and friends They look better with binding around them i use the 1 inch...first fold binding in half then iron,use flat pins they are thinner and more workable...then sew with your open toe foot.

Well, be sure to post in projects when you do!! This type of placemat is usually very inexpensive and can be very colorful and just "waiting" to be embroidered on!!*
