|
| Note:
All of my embossed towel designs include a "placement line" for
perfect placement each and every time! !
I have taken the “guess work” out of the process! SUPPLIES: 1 matching bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth Vilene or aqua magic wash away stabilizer Embroidery thread |
|
| Bath & Hand Towel: | |
 |
 |
| 1 - Hoop vilene in hoop and place on machine. The 1st color stitches the placement line and center mark. Remove hoop and spray vilene with temporary adhesive spray. | 2 - Fold towel in half, place towel fold at center mark with TOP of towel band even with placement line. Open towel, keeping rest of towel band even with the placement line. Put hoop on machine. |
 |
 |
| 3 - The next color in design stitches a basting outline to secure the towel in the hoop and the embossing that forms the letter and/or hearts. | 4 - Finish stitching design following the step by step instructions included with your order. |
 |
6. You may need to dip the design in lukewarm water to dissolve the remaining wash away stabilizer. After dipping the towel, place the embroidered towel inside an old towel and press down directly over the design to soak up the excess water. Smooth the towel on a flat surface and allow to dry. When almost dry, steam iron the towel from the wrong side to smooth even further. Note: If these are a gift....just leave that little bit of vilene stabilizer on the towels so the towel will still look nice and new! You can always add a little note in the gift box (stabilizer will dissolve with first washing!)
|
| 5 - When finished, remove hoop and flip hoop to wrong side. Clip and remove basting stitches from wrong side. Trim the vilene stabilizer close to edge of the design. | |
| Wash
Cloth_Corner: Wash Cloth_straight: Stitches design 3/4" above towel band (use towel instructions above for the washcloth_straight) Wash Cloth_corner: V-shaped placement line - stitches design 1" from each side at corner of washcloth. |

 |
 |
| 1 - Hoop vilene in hoop, place hoop on machine. The 1st color stitches a V-shaped placement line. Remove hoop and spray stabilizer with temporary adhesive spray. | 2 - Place corner of wash cloth inside and even with the corner placement line. The first color stitches a basting outline to secure washcloth in hoop and then stitches the embossing. |
 |
 |
| 3 - Finish design following the step by step instruction included. When finished, flip hoop to back side and remove the basting stitches. | 4 - Trim the vilene stabilizer close to the outline. (see Bath & Hand Towels - step 6 for further instructions) |
