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.

Fine cotton would be the most classic fabric choice for this purpose.

I love egyptian cotton. They sell it with the muslins. It's soft and thin but absorbent at the same time.

i agree a great cotton. there are alot of groups on yahoo that are dedicated to machine embroidery. the people on them are so very helpful. here is my favorite site for emboidery designs. they give away 49 free designs a day.
