A method of producing a paper product which is formed from a pair of embossed webs enables the embossments to be arranged in either a nested or a foot-to-foot configuration. An embossing pattern has a machine direction and a cross-machine direction and is formed by a plurality of embossments. Adjacent embossments are spaced from each other in either or both of the machine direction and the cross-machine direction by an amount which exceeds the dimension of the embossments in that direction. A pair of embossing rolls are engraved with the same embossing pattern. When it is desired to produce foot-to-foot embossments, the embossing rolls are rotatably mounted so that the embossments on each roll are aligned. When it is desired to produce nested embossments, the embossing rolls are rotatably mounted so that the embossments on each of the rolls are positioned between the embossments on the other roll.

[ We claim:] [8.]8. A two-ply nested embossed paper product comprising an upper ply of paper and a lower ply of paper, each of the plies being embossed with the same embossing pattern to provide the ply with embossments and non-embossed areas which surround the embossments, some of the embossments being arranged to form geometric designs which enclose other embossments, the embossing pattern of one of the plies being shifted relative to the embossing pattern of the other ply so that the embossments of each ply are aligned with non-embossed areas of the other ply and the embossments of each ply are nested with the embossments of the other ply.
