no, not x stitch, but I did a small 'line-work' or Stick person on the non-fluffy bit on the end part of a hand towel. It was good, but would not have shown up on the actual fluffy part of the towel.

Hi Toogie...I have done a lot of cross stitch on towels...all have been very successful...keep in mind if you do any lettering...you would want to stay away from the cross stitch single outline type letters like are done in samplers...but a regular cross stitch design should work out well...PM me if you want any more information...I just looked at the Ballerina...there are some run line little swirl details that might not show up very well and sink down in the loops of the towel...I might leave those off, depending upon how thick the towel is...or you could use an embossed frame and put her inside of it...

I have not done it with x stitch, but often use tulle instead of WSS when embroidering on fluffy towels. The tulle tears away just like the toppers, but remains in the towel structure.

Yes and they turned out great hugs

A real question. By all means test stitch on similar towel or fabric. In my mind , I say no, but try a sample see what happens. Kay

Yes, with a design with very small, close cross stitches and 2 layers of WSS for extra lofting. Looked great.

Not on a terry towel, but consider doing it on material and appliqueing that onto the towel.

Thanks for asking this question I also was wondering. I just bought the set and was thinking about products to put them on. Marian

Yes, I have. Several. Here are links to a few I posted. It really works well and keeps well when laundered.

Toogie, I have done several. They have all been fine. Good luck.

I have done cross stitch on towels and put WSS over top. Always worked well.
