Who made the bowls & mugs? Thanks!
Hi Danielle,
Thanks for the question. It is hard to say since we have a lot of props in our studio. Sorry about that!

Pretty pattern! Just wondering: I do not have a walking foot. Can I still make these napkins without too much difficulty? Are there any tips to making them with a regular straight stitch foot and/or an edgestitch foot? Thanks!
Hi Dectora,
Thanks for the question! The walking foot is for when you sew over multiple layers of fabric. There might be too many layers of fabric for your regular sewing foot to go over, so we recommend a walking foot. However, I think you might be able to sew past these layers without one. If the fabric starts bunching, I would ease the fabric through and also increase the stitch width for this area. Hope this helps!
