They are attached & embroidered in the hoop. There are several in Designs by Cuties (with instructions)
Thanks - I had noticed the designs on Cuties but obviously didn't take note of the instructions which is why I didn't know how they were attached. I must pay more attention. Thank you very much - I will look into it in the morning. Good night from Malta.
I had the same question, Eileen! I made the one from Smart Needle and it turned out well! (You'll need to sign in, but they have wonderful freebies!) The designs are stitched onto the corner of the towel and you cut away the excess fabric. I really like the way it turned out. Be sure to use the same thread in the bobbin as on top, so your design is reversible.
Thanks for this - I have looked this morning and I like this site very much - many thanks
