A couple of days ago I downloaded a free design of 2 swans. Do you think this design will stitch up well on towels, I need to do 2 towels for a wedding gift?

You could do a test strip on a wash cloth or an old towel before you do the wedding gift towels. This will help with positioning the design and you can see your colors too.

a good idea, if I do not get a positive answer I will do as you suggest, thanks
Its better test the stitch out first to see if it stitches out good. You won't be sorry to test first. But I know there are others out there that will let you know. Where did the design come from? Another cutie might have already stitched it out and will tell you right off hand.
yes it was a cutie design, a few days ago.
thanks for your advice

I was once told... "there are people who test stitch and those who wished they had..." I ALWAYS test stitch a design before using it for the first time. I use old washcloths to test stitch things I will put on a towel. I use old t-shirts to test stitch tings I will put on a knit shirt, etc. I find test stitching helps me be sure I have the stabilizer right and if I have the colors right. Good luck.

I don't know what design you are referring to, but test it on a wash cloth and you'll know exactly how it stitches out on towels.

I test the designs too on old towels or muslin. if they come out well I save them. I cut them in square if they test out fine. You can use them for other things. Suzanne
