Set of towels for our motor home. The last set (barely) lasted 10 years. The motif at the top and bottom were done by the one and only, mops! Thanks friend, they are lovely and so perfect for this. The monogram is off of my machine. These are towels that took me 2 days to hoop, only to discover that my screw was stripped. 2 days, seriously! My brain is ready for school to start back.

Thanks, It was really important to me that they matched perfectly and by hooping I knew they would.

I like the crisp look of this project. This towel looks really thick, but you sure managed to stitch it out perfectly!

Beautiful work. Like the colors
If I embroider on thick material, I only hoop the stabilizer, then place the towel and fasten it together with the avalon on top with basting stitches. This works great

I have tried that too and do use it occasionally, however it was imperative that these match up and by hooping they are perfectly matched and level.

These are so very nice Jerrilyn and your motif from Martine really sets them off well but seriously 2 days to figure out your screw was stripped. LOL My kids tell me all the time I've stripped my screw, but in my brain not my hoop. Ha Ha

You created an impressive monogram, the scrolls and lettering go together very well and the colours are beautiful.
Thanks for showing, I might use that design myself one of these days. Only time I stitched it was when I tested it.

It stitched perfectly even on these bulky towels. I usually hang them on the inside of the water closet, but these babies are hanging out the outside of the shower door in the hallway!

I hope so. My darling husband and I have so much fun together and it's great to get away. Otherwise, I sit in front of a computer/sewing machine.

Jerrilyn, I don't hoop terry towels anymore. Just hoop the stabilizer, then spray and place towels and pin . Works great. No hoop burn!!
by jrob 22 Aug 2014
I usually do them that way, but these hang very closely together and I didn't want them to be "off" any at all.
