This is my first attempt to embroider a towel. It drove me nuts trying to hoop the towel and in the end I just hooped the bottom stabiliser and pinned the towel and top stabiliser to that! It seems to have worked OK. I chose the design because my friend is a Marine Biologist who works at a sea turtle sanctuary in Greece, and I also made her a matching birthday card with an embroidered centre.

your friend will love it!! nice work

Dianne, this set looks georgeus, i love the colors ***

I love them! This is such a great design!

beautefull!

A really creative mind you have and a beautiful piece of work. I broke a hoop trying to get the towl in it then searched on line and found loads of into for how to for towls!!

wow this is real great work a flower for you gr sonja

Nice design and very appropriate for a marine biologist. And really good idea to match the card with the present.

So cute, deserves a flower.

A complete combo - great job - here is a flower for you.

Nice sea turtle set, the matching card makes it tops in my book.You did a wonderful job. An A for your hard work and a flower for finishing it even if it drove you nuts O.

What a nice thought! Love the matching card.

Wunderschön gemacht! Ein herzliches Lob für dich!

Wow! How cute!

You did such a good job. When I embroider towels I use Sticky back adhesive & put water soluable stabilizer on the top, so I don't have to hoop the towel only the sticky back . Hope this helps but yours looks perfect. .Heres a flower for your hard work.

What a nice set! She will love it.

You are going to knock her socks off! That is a lovely, thoughtful gift! Good solution to thick problem and I can tell you pinned,pinned,pinned. And that's what makes it work!

A lovely combination. I think it will be greatly appreciated. Thick towels are a pain to hoop and I normally do the same as you did, but I use temporary glue spray to fix the towel to the stabilizer. Flower for you.
