Cloth Napkins

Step 5 Iron On Stars

I thought the black napkins were rather plain, and decided on iron on stars.

A note on the stars:
I got my iron on stars from two brands. The 'Wrights' brand, and the 'Patch Ems' brand. They are iron on appliqué's. The Patch Ems say to just iron on, and the Wright's says for a permanent placement you need to sew them after ironing them down.

My personal feeling is that the entire iron on patch industry feeds on the hopes of those that are trying to avoid sewing. It's a deceptive game, and leads to frustration as the ironed appliqué's eventually peal off in the wash. If they say you only need to iron them on, then they are dirty filthy liars. I no longer listen to the silver tongued directions that promise me iron on bliss. I just sew the nasty little things down regardless. Just remember that they lie, and you will be okay.

Anyways, I digress. Just iron the stars on per the directions. I ironed mine on from the front to stick it a little, then really pressed and ironed them on from the back.
