More embossed towels. I am getting hooked on these. These are our own Veronika's designs. I am having a hard time picking out the topping from small areas. Any one have tips to make it easier. Kay

Lovely work and a friend of mine rinses her towels to get rid of the excess stabilizer. ****4u

Beautiful! I love these, I'd be doing these designs too if only they'd fit my hoop :-( I use water-soluble stabiliser (WSS) on the top side of towels (tearwaway beneath) then it just rinses away, even in the tiniest spaces. Love and a flower from Dianne x x x

This is what I use also I just didn' t want to wash the towels I stitch to sell. I kind of takes the new away. I also hated to take them into the shop with pieces of topping, help!!
Use the stabiliser that can be removed with a hot iron - works fine for me.
I do have some of this "heat N Gone" by Florian. It is quite expensive.Do you know another source? I realize you probably buy locally.

how about using water soluable on the top, then just use your finger dabbed in water to wipe away the bits that don't pull off?

I did, it leaves the area stiff.

Just go to your linen closet and practice on some of your towels that you already have. I will post some later that I used as practice.

Use a topper that removes with your iron -- heat shrink. I have used it with good results on things to give as gifts that I didn't want to wash or spray water on to remove washaway.

Thank all of you for your comments and suggestions and flowers to all.

Beautiful! Nicely done! I use the real thin wss for the top and it usually removes very easily from the small areas with a warm damp wash cloth.

they are lovely.
if you use WSS you can remove the little parts by a wet sponge.

thanks for showing. Love them both. Want to do lots for myself later and this helps me choose lol. I always use wss and I just dab tiny bits of water on it with my finger and it just disappears. So no need to wash at all

These look great Kay. I was told by the lady at my viking store to use WSS on top. Instead of washing out, cut as close as possible to stitches--then use tweezers to hold on to what is left, and use a wet Q-tip to melt/cut away any leftover. The towel will still look like new. I did this method on velvet stockings at Christmas time and it worked great.

Thank you.

Kay, these turned out beautiful. I know how small pieces of WWS can make a towel stiff when you try to wet it to dissappear....there were some great suggestions down below!!*
