ATTACH TURN UNIT

2. Install one turn unit, centered and 1" in from one shaped end of a Main Fabric napkin ring piece. Add a square of sew-in foam under the washer to help support the hardware (round the corners of the foam, if desired). For easier topstitching in a later step, press the turn unit prongs toward the center of the hardware.

3. Repeat the steps to attach the second turn unit to the remaining shaped napkin ring.

ASSEMBLE NAPKIN RING

4. Shape two adjacent corners of a sew-in foam square, using a small spool of thread. Place the square of foam, centered and 1/4" in from one Wrong Side end of a Main Fabric rectangle.

5. With Wrong Sides Together, place a shaped napkin ring on one rectangle. Position the turn lock end opposite of the square of foam. Use basting spray, glue, tape, or sewing clips to hold the layers together.

6. Following the shaped piece, topstitch along the aligned raw edges of the napkin ring with 1/8" allowance, using a stitch length of 3.5-4.0mm.

Try using a zipper foot or teflon foot for smoother stitching. Topstitch carefully near the installed hardware.

7. Repeat the steps to assemble the second napkin ring, using the remaining Main Fabric shaped napkin ring and rectangle. Trim the Wrong Side rectangles even with the Right Side shaped fabric layers.

COMPLETE NAPKIN RING

8. Mark and install the plate unit on the Right Side of the Napkin Ring, centered and 1" in from the shaped end (the outer edge of the plate unit is 1/8" in from the topstitching).
