White Linen Hemstitched Dinner Napkins Set of 4 20 X 20 Ladder Hem Stitch Cloth Napkin by Bumblebee Linens

Q: How easily to stains wash out?

I pre soaked the stains and had no problems.

Q: Are these napkins soft? Some linen/cotton blends have a textured feel that seems a little rough.

They are not nubby or rough, I feel they are fairly soft after washing and ironing. Not silky soft but soft enough. I used for a dinner party about a month ago and was very pleased

Q: Would these napkins be good to embroider a design on?

Yes. We embroider on them all the time. I would recommend using a light/medium weight stabilizer if doing machine embroidery.

Q: How do you care for these linens?

All of our cotton and linen napkins can be laundered at home with great care. They should be delicately washed in cold water with regular detergent. With our crochet or battenburg lace napkins however, dry cleaning is strongly recommended in order to preserve the delicate lace fringes. When selecting a detergent, it is essential to make sure that the detergent does not contain any bleach products. If stains are present on the linen napkins, they should be treated immediately using a special linen stain remover. Stains on cotton napkins may be treated with most off the shelf stain removers, however you should stay away from harsh solvents and bleaching products such as chlorine, peroxide or sodium carbonate. Cotton and linen napkins may be dried in a machine dryer, but should be removed while they are still slightly damp. Because linen wrinkles extremely easily, linen napkins should be spread on a large surface and pressed with a hot iron immediately after they are removed from the dryer.
