Embroidered Towels. I recently did these for my daughters friend who got married and she gave 4 sets away as wedding favours to her bridal party.
I went into stress mode over them but mostly turned out fine..I did the friends name a tad too small..At least the gift ones were all much better done...
I have since bought more embroidery fonts so I should be more prepared for any more requests. Thanks for looking.

They are stunning.
It is always stressful when you do for others. I think we all go into panic mode just incase something goes wrong.
Job well done.

These are all quite beautiful. I am sure the wedding party recipients were delighted to get them. I know what you mean about going into stress mode. I am always concerned that the person I am making things for will like the item and appreciate my work.

many thanks. It was trying even just to get the plastic off the front and I wondered just how much paper backing to get off also...anyone know about the rules/our rules of how much backing is expectable to leave on...I know we don't want to leave much...love Kerry

They are wonderful. What a nice contribution you made to their wedding. I think name size on towels is very individual. I can be a bit of an introvert, (though talky) and I like my names small and subtle on towels. The point is not to take over the towel!

thank you I know what you mean, I don't even have towels with my name on any more....

WOW! you did a fantastic job! Last time I did towels I used a light tear away on the back. Of course WSS topping on the front.When finished I used the delicate cycle in the washer and extra fluff in dryer. You could not tell they had been washed.Also you could use a blunt wood turner to try and get the wss out if you wanted. I like the Washer.

Thank you, I was apprehensive to wash someone else's towels, hence I never...

This is the perfect font for towels...thick enough to cover the terry, but not so thick as to be stiff and hard. I always use washaway on the back, but I do wash the towels before giving them. I sometimes use tulle on the top if I think the design will result in a lot of pokies. You do have to tear it away when done. I also use washaway on the top if the design has good underlay and covers the terry well.

thanks for the top tips. I wish I had of use wash a way on the bottom now, but oh well maybe next time...I am sure my daughter will think of something else for me to sew.
I believe she has a jacket from a work mate she has had for 3 mths she tells me to put 3 names on the back.

I think anything monogramed or has a name on it is special to the recipient. Doing all those towels is a lot of work, but the results are fabulous!
