Embossed Monogram on a hand towel using tulle as topping instead of WSS
I heard this tip when I went to my machine lesson for my new Viking DDD. I was just embroidering some towels for my friends and I used WSS as topping. When I got home, I tried this out right away. It's pretty cool. It's supposed to keep the monogram really stable and it's actually cheaper than WSS!You do have to trim it away after you finish. As for the WSS, you can just peel it off.
The 4 by 4 size works great.
I love the Crane embossed font from here too. I'll use that on bath towels.

I did it without topping at first , but I could hardly see the lacey stitches. They show so much better after I used the topping. Maybe I added it too soon.

That's a good idea to use it for free standing. I'll embroider more towels for friends, but am too lazy to do any for ourselves.

I got it when they had the 3 dollars for 3-day trial membership. So I paid 3 dollars and downloaded hundreds of designs there. Read about it on cute community section. Thank you to the cutie who posed it.
