When you do Towel Toppers how can you have a nice look on the back of the work and not see all the ends of threads etc Do you always add a tear away stabilizer on the back

Depending on the design used, I use a piece of fabric on the back side of mine..

I use the fabric on the back. There should be a thread change for this and use colored bobbin thread.

I found some instructions on www.adorableapplique.com that shows how to do this. I have seen some of the fronts done in felt. Are they suppose to be felt or can they be done in fabric.

I've done some corner ones, that were all thread, and just matched the bobbin thread so it is reversible.

Like jofrog, I simply match the thread on back so design is reversible *

I saw a tutorial on one site and it showed using fabric on the back before the final stitching.

I do as everyone suggests but if i still think it looks bad i add a matching piece of material to the back when finished & i zig zag around the outside of the whole thing!!Carolyn
