I have been asked to monogram some towel for a friend but am not sure about placement. There is a band about 4 inches above the bottom not sure on, above,or below. Help Lisa

I know there r rules, & I will try to abide, but I'm going to put the design, mono whatever where I think it looks best or where I think it will display best & of course the client has the last say. *4U

Thanks lbrow it makes sence. Lisa

Another thing I forgot to tell you. Put solvy on top of the towel so the terry won't suck up the design. I got mine at JoAnn's. I also use tearaway on the bottom. Again GOOD Luck

Go to www.diamondthreadworks.com/placement_chart they have placement charts for everything. I printed it out and use it all the time. Good Luck

dido what mops said. Lisa

If the band is wide enough you could put it there. However, I found that that's usually the area most likely to shrink during laundering. Other place is mentioned in some placement articles as 1 1/2" above the band, in the middle. But of course you're free to do whatever you like. One of my clients want it top middle, so that's what she gets.
