What is the best fabric to make fancy embroidered hankies out of?
I would like to make some nice machine embroidered hankies for some ladies at my church. What is the best fabric to use to get a nice-feeling, absorbent hankerchief?
I use Irish Linen for my embroidered handkerchiefs. I get them from an Amish store in the Midwest for a reasonable price. Linen is a classic fabric that only gets softer with time and lasts for many years. It's all natural.
