I did it, First attempt at embroidery on hand towels, my initial and my hubbys initial, he was so funny he admired it soo much, told me how great it was and how clever I was and it looks beautiful, then said "What do I do with it ?" MEN !!!! I got the font from Cute alphabet and it is the Petite Fleur font . I would like to thank all the cuties with their help and encouragement today, your all great, I was feeling a bit scary about it, but I did it. Hope you like my first attempt. Trish

thank you, I changed the colours that the cute font said to use and used a dark brown for the letters , it was suppose to be a silver colour but it would not have shown on the beige handtowels.

thank you, I don't think I would have even attempted it only for the cuties, but am glad I did, they were right, I wont be able to stop at one, I am talking about doing all my house towels, face washers , then I can start on pillowcases..... Only thing is I am in the accommodation industry can you imagine how many towels, facewashers, bathmats, pillowcases I have !!! heheh

Congratulations on your 1st, the colours you have chosen look terrific on the beige towel. Remember you don't have to use the colours they suggest, be Wild and experiment. marian

the colours that came up to use would have been lost in the colouring of the towel, so I am glad I took the gamble and changed the colour. thanks for your help and comments.

Thanks Lidia, I appreciate the help and encouragement everyone has given me for this attempt, I now see it was not necessary for me to be nervy about doing towels, the machine sewed through like a hot knife in butter.

You have done very well! It was smart of you to choose this design because a thin line or skinny font gets buried in the towel loops. Also, you were right to change the color for it to show on your towel. Very elegant.-Toogie

One of the cuties tipped me off this morning about the choice of designs for towels, she mentioned the lines, glad I was told about that as the first design I thought of doing was as you said skinny design and lines, and I would have been put off with the results, thanks for your encouragement today.

I'm so proud of you! You chose a great font, lovely colors and did a super job. Your hubby sounds like mine, will support me to the hit with no idea what it is all about. But we love them. Keep on stitching those towels.

This is very well done and I would not have guessed your first attempt. You were smart to seek advice first as it told you how to pick a perfect design. This is a great place for advice and the Cuties have helped me many times. Having putting something on all the towels and pillowcases in your house. This hobby is addicting. Becky

My last line was supposed to say have fun putting designs on all the towels. :)
Thank you for your comments. Getting the placement where I wanted it was a challenge, after I rechose my design ( my first choice wouldn`t have worked too many thin lines) I searched the cuties Q & A section to see if anyone had asked about placement, then emb library, then went to Mr Google with all that info and fingers crossed I hit the start button . It worked.!
This is addictive, I am already checking out the pillowcases, I think they have to be unpicked at the seams first ?

thankyou, I wasn't sure about placement, so once I had the design picked, I searched the Q & A to see if there had been any questions on placements, then went to Embroidery library, then Mr Google armed with all that I went for it, it seemed to work.

Nailed it! They are beautiful. He just wanted to be sure if it was to be used or admired only! How great that he asked first!

Thanks, he is funny at times, every time I make something he especially if it is Irish Colours as he calls it, he puts them on the table he has beside him when he watches TV, he told me last night he needs a bigger table as he is running out of space !!!
That's just so sweet.

Well done Trish, I think you've chosen a wonderful font to use for your first time. You would never know it was your first - it looks like a professional piece of ME (machine embroidery). Great idea re your colour choice too as it looks great on the beige towel. Well done, love Chris

Thank you Chris, I am very happy with the finish results, you would never know I got the handtowels from crazy prices for $1.50 each !! And thankyou for the idea of the freezer go between, it worked a treat.

Oh, very nice. I think what he was trying to ask is, is it okay for me to use it for dirty hands or is this just for show?
1 comment
he is at the moment trying to work out the best spot to put them so everyone can see them when they visit.... I did suggest the bathroom, but he wasn't impressed :)

Totally awesome. But be careful............. embroidery is very addicting!

I think I am already addicted, I feel like I get withdrawal symptoms if I am away from the machine for too long, and I swear that the machine calls me :)

aww trish arn't men so precious and your first attempt at towel embroidery is first class do you know the name of the font?....soozie
1 comment
Thank you for the comments, the font name is Petite Fleur found at Cute alphabet. I have always loved this style of lettering , it is sort of Celtic. I also like old English font as well, which I will try .... one day.

thankyou, yes it is a great feeling, the cutees have given me great confidence to do this and I appreciate it very much, I am looking now at having nothing but monogram towels in my bathroom, all different , that will drive my daughter crazy as she likes to see everything uniform.
