My first attempt at towel toppers.We found these hand towels on sale.They were too short to cut in half & embroidery would get lost in the pattern.The end result is a long towel suitable for any room .Diamond design is from Katulle.

The original price tag was $24.99 no wonder they didn't sell.

This is something I have yet to try. You have done really well with the design and I love the towels. I don't think anybody, in their right mind, would pay that for a hand towel! Lucky for you they didn't. Is this design for larger than a 5x7 hoop? I'm limited to that size but I like how this loop buttons up.

Thank you.You might have the design already,it was from when Cuties could post free designs,this was by Katulle.
I found a free pattern on the net, printed it out & changed it a bit to suit me.The each diamond is about 2ins squ.
It isn't a ITH project ,just embroidered the design on fabric, & do it the old fashion way.Found it was easier to sew the embroidered front to the towel first,then stitch the back to it ,trim & turn through ,turn under hem at back & sew down ,Stitch buttonhole to fit the button

I do have kutules designs but I thought it was a ITH hanger. I don't mind sewing the 'old fashioned way, in fact Iove to sew. Thanks for the info and you don't remember where on the net the hanger pattern was do you? I suppose I could try to draw it out if I knew about the size. Thanks again for the info and love your towels!

They were made to go together the design and towel. Love the shape of your towel topper. Did you make the shape yourself?
It always amazes me how sometimes a hand towel costs more than a bath towel.

Thank you.The shape was free from the net but I fiddled with it a bit.I have bought very large bath towels for less than $15.
They must think people have more money than sense especially when most towels are made in Asia.These were Turkish
