Paired Indian Floral Corners for Table Linens
Paired Indian Floral Corners is a machine embroidery design set featuring flowers, a bud, teal leaves, pointed blue details, and gold-toned botanical scrolls. The left and right L-shaped motifs frame the corners of cloth napkins, table runners, tablecloths, and fabric placemats. Arrange them as a pair at one end of a runner, as shown in the preview, or stitch one corner on each napkin. The curved branches outline the corner while leaving the center of the fabric open.
The set contains two separate motifs, each supplied in four sizes, for a total of eight size variants. This is a digital embroidery file download; finished table linens, fabric, thread, and hoops are not included.
Design Sizes and Suitable Hoops
The measurements below are for each individual corner, not the complete paired arrangement. Choose the same size option for the left and right motifs. Stitch each motif separately. Check hoop compatibility with your machine and run a boundary trace before starting; the shape of the usable stitching area also matters.

FAQ — Stitching Paired Corners on Table Linens
How do I align the pair when the left and right corners have slightly different widths?
Choose the same size option for both motifs and print a full-size template of each file with its center and axes. Arrange the templates on the fabric, then measure from the outer embroidery boundaries to the finished fabric edges and check the gap between the corners. Do not simply copy one center offset to the other side: the file dimensions differ slightly. Once the layout is balanced, mark a separate center and axes for each corner. Stitch the motifs individually, keeping those placement marks.
How can I embroider near a finished napkin edge when the fabric does not reach the hoop?
Do not stretch the linen to make it reach the hoop. Hoop a piece of stabilizer that is firmly gripped around the entire frame, then secure the napkin on top. If using a suitable temporary embroidery adhesive, apply it to the stabilizer away from the machine and align the fabric using your template and centerlines. Add a basting outline outside the motif only if it fits within the embroidery field. Before stitching, check every needle path, including basting, and keep the thick hem, excess fabric, and any pins clear.
Which stabilizer should I choose for a linen runner, and how large should I cut it?
Test a medium-weight tear-away on firm, stable linen; for soft or loosely woven linen, start with a soft cut-away. Consider the weave and stability of the fabric, not just the total stitch count: the flowers and scrolls create localized areas of heavier stitching. Cut the backing large enough to extend beyond the outer hoop so it can be gripped securely around the entire perimeter. Prepare a separate piece for each hooping. Test the combination on the same linen and check for puckering after unhooping.
Should I embroider the corners before hemming or on the finished item?
When making a runner or napkin from scratch, it is usually easier to embroider on an oversized fabric piece before hemming. Prewash and press the fabric according to its intended care. Mark the finished edge and hem allowance first, measuring embroidery placement from the finished edge rather than the raw cut edge. Keep enough extra fabric for secure hooping, then trim and hem after embroidery. For an already finished item, check the paper template carefully so the stitches and presser-foot movement do not cross a thick mitered hem.
