Machine Embroidered Christmas Handtowels

Dear Friends,
I've been working on some sweet hand towels to give as Christmas gifts.  I am bundling one candy cane towel with one Santa sled.  I think they turned out sweet as can be. 

The towels are from Costco.  The designs are from Anita Goodesign.  I used metallic silver thread for the top and white for the bobbin and just as with the Thanksgiving towels, I hooped water soluble stabilizer in the hoop, floated the towel on top and topped the towel again with water soluble stabilizer to keep the stitches up and showing.

I think these are the perfect Christmas gift for many on my list.
With love and Christmas Blessings,
Nancy

  3. How do you "float" the towel on top? Won't the design get messed up if the towel isn't hooped??

    1. Floating the towel means to just lay the towel on top of the hoop. You need to tape it in place or just carefully hold it with your fingers for the first few stitches. I just hold it and am careful. Watch it so the edge of the towel does not fold back on itself. Otherwise, it is an easy way to embroider a towel and you don't have all the bulk of a terry cloth towel in your hoop. I hope this makes sense.
