Have finished the last 2 tea towels for my annual Christmas ladies luncheon. I've done 4 navy blue ones and 4 red ones now. These are the same design as one of the blue sets. I've found the same problem with them again with the outline, but what the hey, they'll still wipe up the dishes! These were from Misty Mountain a few years ago. Love Chris
1. Same coloured thread used in both, but because of the flash and angle of the towels the one on the right stick looks darker! I did remove the bit of black thread after I saw it on the pom pom on the right hand side Santa.

Thanks so much for commenting Brenda, I'm sure they won't be as picky as I am. Love Chris
9788Great Job! They look terrific. Just wondering if you hooped sticky back vilene first and laid the towel on top if it would stitch out better. Just a thought?

That would be a good idea Theresa - if I had some! I've only ever used a tear away stabiliser. Love Chris

I reckon Carolyn - he's been around for so long! I'll have to get a move on and finish my Santa quilt - been a UFO for over 3 years now! Love Chris

Thanks Karen, you are right. They take over an hour each to sew out! Love Chris
169054Very nice for towels!! Bright and cheery!! Great job!
Just wondering - I too had problems with a design border every time I did the design -- can it be changed in digitizer?

Well, Kim says you can adjust them with your software, but I've never done it. Love Chris
3074Nice job, Chris...unfortunately, I have found this outline issue to be fairly common with Misty Mountain's older designs...I usually look at them in my software and make some adjustments to them before I stitch her designs out...they still look wonderful, though...

I wish I knew how to do that Kim - I have an edit option with my 5D but I'm not much into adjusting things. Love Chris
317679They are very nice. Sorry you had issues with the outlines again. But you are right - they will still dry the dishes quite well.
