Dish towels, designs from julia's needle designs all except the girl sewing. I don't remember where it came from.

What do you use as a stabilizer? I'm always a little afraid that with these light weight cotton towels if the stitching it will tear the towel apart. The first years I was doing embroidery I had some that just wrecked the towel 'cuz the stitching was gone over too many times.Thanks for answers.

ohhh das ja toll wo genau kann ich das finden? LG mies

love these

Very nice! I like all of them! I do think that the girl sewing might have come from SICK but if not, they have one very similar to this one. I have collected from them and even purchased from them and (head down in shame) have never sewn out a single design of theirs. This set would make a wonderful Christmas gift!!!!!

So cute love the retro designs.Nice work! Suzanne

Wow! You nailed that project! Stitching on that thin of fabric always makes me crazy so I'm a little jealous of your embroidery skills!

I make my own towels from a cotton material. The flour sack towels, especially the ones from India are too thin to embroidry on. You can use a thin cutaway on the back and it helps to stabilize the work. Just cut around the design and you cannot even see it. A 100% cotton material, cut to size and hemmed works great and dries great too!! Marietta
