Hi everybody, I am embroidering some towels for a wedding gift with the couples initials and I was wondering does anybody put embroidery on the face cloth. Thanks Anna

I do a small design or initial that matches the larger towels in the corner, too. I like the look and hanging in the bathroom, really makes a finished set. Make sure you choose the corner opposite of the tag!

I have to go along with the others, something small in a corner, but I do like to crochet an edging right around, finishing off with a good loop. Done in a colour to match the design done on the rest of the set. hugs n roses, Meganne

I love to put that little extra design in the corner of the wash cloth. Everyone seems amazed at that special touch, and really, it just takes a few more minutes. It looks really pretty folded on top of the towels so the design shows diagonally on the corner. Just make sure you put it on the corner opposite the tag :-)

I have also made small tags on the wash clothes with their initials so that the whole cloth can be used...

Yes, just a little smaller and definetly trim the backing...use water soluable for the top for sure

I never have. Maybe I should think about it.

Yes but very small as to not interfer with face washing.

Hi, I see you have had lots of answers but to add my comments, yes I too embroider on flannels

gee, I haven't heard a face cloth called a "flannel" since my Dad died in 1979.
Thank you for the memories. :-)

Thanks for the great responses I really appreciate all the advice!! A big bath towel of thanks, Anna

I do for myself, and they are just for show, to make the bathroom look pretty. I don't like embroidery on a face cloth to actually use.

A small design like a tiny dove with a twig in its beak, or a tiny set of wedding rings. Any small design that will match the designs on the larger towels will do.

I usually put just the intial of the last name and in a smaller font than the towels. Becky

Just a small design will do. Love Marie

Can be horribly scratchy on the face cloth. Advice below is good !

I do many face cloths for small gifts. I just make sure the design is small. Sarah.

Hi Anna, I put the initials on the face cloth in the corner very small. Hugs Yvonne

I must be a lone wolf! I don't do the face cloth as I don't like to have anything scratchy on my face. I do the bath towel & hand towel. I DID put the initials very small on the wash cloth for nieces that were going off to college & needed to have their linens marked.

I don't do the face cloths either, just a matter of preference.

I do not either.

yep in the corner and fairly small so you have room left to wash your face lol hugs carolyn

yes i did, the couple used them during the wedding to keep the sweat away.. they had no idea that the rest of the set was a wedding gift.they loved them

Yes and also smaller or if the monogram had for instance a flower with it I would only do the flower.

I have a customer who always brings towels and matching washers. I just do the name a bit smaller on the washer or you could put initials in the corner.
