I have never embroidered a bath towel and was just wondering what stabalizers work the best 4 this

There have been several done here so if you wish you use the search engine above and see what happens. There are also some popular topics listed to the left that you can click on, for instance try stabilizer.;)

Thank you,will try stabalizer in search

Oh, As for your bath towell embroidery:
I use WSS in the hoop, then i place the towelling on top of this and a layer of WSS on top of the towelling, then using pins, I secure the towelling & top WSS onto the already hooped WSS.
Then i stitch a row of basting stitches around the inside perimeter of the hoop. Remove the pins. Load and stitch the design, then rinse out the WSS. The design will at first appear stiff but will soften with washing, also best to use Polyester thread. Hope this helps. hugs n roses, M

Thank you so much for all the info and it definately helps

If you go to bookmarks and use the tags you will find links to websites that have tutorials on all sorts of things. I know they're there 'cause i posted some of them. I also mentioned another site i found (yesterday) so search the community pages for 'tips' and you should find it. Actually i just re-located it for you and have added the URL below. Enjoy and if you need any other craft websites just holler hugs n roses, M

Thank you again for all the wonderful help and links

I don't know the answer to your question but it would be great to have a special tag for tutorials, tips and helps. Great Idea.

Not that I'm aware of. But Embroidery Library has a good section. Also use the search feature and type in stablizer and you may find what have been shared here before. There has been some great answers.
