Tudor rose
Finally, the rose is done. But in the meantime, don't ask me how, a yellowish stain has founds its way onto the fabric constituting the napkin, I think I need to use the embroidery for something else. Suggestions?
...applique it on a small pillow? ...cover for a lovely needle book? ...applique it on a fabric book cover (girdle book)? ...make a small needle pillow out of it? ...
maybe the pillow version... but the problem is that the silk is so fine if I expose it to too much rubbing or pulling needles it wouldn't survive for long, so the book cover might be the best option
Keep it as is and actually use it as a napkin. It is too pretty not to use. I can't see a stain in the picture. Is it bad or would most people not notice it?
I don't see the stain either. I wold leave it as you intended it. The purpose of a napkin is to get stained, rather than your gorgeous clothes getting stained. Plus the embroidery is so beautiful, people will likely never notice this or any other stain on it! Everyone will be too busy looking at your splendid tudor rose!

I am not sure... I see the yellow stain clearly...
