Have finished the last 2 tea towels for my annual Christmas ladies luncheon. I've done 4 navy blue ones and 4 red ones now. These are the same design as one of the blue sets. I've found the same problem with them again with the outline, but what the hey, they'll still wipe up the dishes! These were from Misty Mountain a few years ago. Love Chris

1. Same coloured thread used in both, but because of the flash and angle of the towels the one on the right stick looks darker! I did remove the bit of black thread after I saw it on the pom pom on the right hand side Santa.

They are very nice. Sorry you had issues with the outlines again. But you are right - they will still dry the dishes quite well.

Nice job, Chris...unfortunately, I have found this outline issue to be fairly common with Misty Mountain's older designs...I usually look at them in my software and make some adjustments to them before I stitch her designs out...they still look wonderful, though...

I wish I knew how to do that Kim - I have an edit option with my 5D but I'm not much into adjusting things. Love Chris

Very nice for towels!! Bright and cheery!! Great job!
Just wondering - I too had problems with a design border every time I did the design -- can it be changed in digitizer?

Well, Kim says you can adjust them with your software, but I've never done it. Love Chris

I think they will look wonderful in the kitchens of the recipients. Kudos to you for the many hours of work you put into them.

Great Job! They look terrific. Just wondering if you hooped sticky back vilene first and laid the towel on top if it would stitch out better. Just a thought?

That would be a good idea Theresa - if I had some! I've only ever used a tear away stabiliser. Love Chris

They look great, Chris. I understand you, my camera has the flash on the left side and the natural light enters the room from the left as well...... lol..
