Made for my husband who is a fireman. He keeps towels in his truck for various things. Since I rarely make him anything I thought it was his turn. This is an Embroidery Libray design. It is very dense. Thought it had too much detail for a small design. 20260 stitches, 3.8 x 1.7 inches, 11 colors and 27 color changes. Looks better at a distance than close up.

The stitch count is very high for a 4 x 2 design, a shame really, as it is looks great!

Thank you. It was very high. The design was stiff and thread dense!! Don't think I'll use it again. Too bad it was one I paid for.

I have read on other's reply to high density count, to increase the design size by 10% and that would help some. You might try that if you think you would use it again... My son is a firefighter also.

Since you've placed it in the trim it probably won't matter at the density, except that you aren't happy with it. It looks fine in the photo.;)

I am sure that your husband will love it, and it is the most important. It is true that tehre are many stitches for the size, Had you thought to put a piece of "avalon" just over the towel before embroider to avoid that the thread of the towel be seen between the stiches of embroidery?
But your design is nice

WSS was used on top of the towel when stitching. But it still didn't work well.

hope he likes it, too bad the design became so stiff by all these many stitches.
