Why not embroider on the white cotton and then machine it on with a straight or zigzag stitch. Look forward to others replies. And Happy sewing

I do not think glue will be a good idea, rather stitch it on with a zig zag sts on a normal sewing machine. Glue tends to get yellow and will show on the back, it will also be stiff. Good luck.

I used the microfiber towels and they worked out great. I used WSS on top, the designs were kitchen chefs from emblibrary. I like the idea of stitching on the cotton and than sewing onto the towel with a zigzag stitch.That would look really awesome. Good luck! Carol

Yes zig zag is what we all half to do at some point !!Thanks for posting!!!

Why not use the towels for something like a very special women-project from Nic/ LuziaPimpinella and buy some simple cotton-towels to stitch on?
She has a wonderful idea for microfabric and by the way: You will love her blog ;o) She made wonderful designs and has the most breathtaking pictures from her journeys! Take a look :o)

I always use a topper or the (plastic film as some call it) on anything I think the threads will sink into. It keeps the threads up off the material and with the micro fiber towel the stitches will sink into it, consider it like a fleece material.

I have embriodered on microfiber towels - just be sure to put WSS on top of it! Good luck!*
