my youngest son wanted fleur de lis designs on a set, actually made two sets, but only one set in picture.

other three with names was an order from a lady i know. she bought the towels at k-mart on sale for 6.00 each, which was a great buy, they were very heavy and big. quite a challenge.

They all turned out really nice. Like that you used a different size of fleur de lis on the bath, hand, and face cloth.

Betty, you have done a great job with these towels - I like the lettering you used - is that on your machine? The different colors for the lettering really make the letters pop out, too. I really like the fleur de lis materal that you used on the applique fleur de lis, too. I bet your son loved his two sets. Great work here *4U

this was my first try putting names on large towels and doing applique on towels. lettering is called saginaw and i could not use the outline stitch which finished the letters because it was not lining up so just stopped the machine after each letter and moved to next. thanks shirlene.

Great that you were able to catch it and stop it. They look wonderful.

Wow - did you embroider the names through that band of tight stitching? You should be really proud of yourself - they look great!

Saginaw font is from SewForum and the link is :
