Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

A great and simple embroidery project for beginners. Taking a flour sack towel and adding a monogram/letter design will add that personal touch to a special and heartfelt gift for your recipient.

Step 1:

Gather all your supplies and review instructions before beginning. Print template of your chosen letter for review.

Step 2:

Hoop stabilizer. Center mark with a crosshair.

Step 3:

Centering design:

Find the center of your flour sack towel by folding in half lengthwise. Then fold the towel up 4” from the bottom hem.

Step 4:

Lightly spray temporary adhesive onto stabilizer.

Step 5:

Place corner of folded towel onto top right corner crosshair. Unfold towel and fingertip press to the stabilizer to secure.

(The flour sack towels are not as dense, so you can see in the picture, the crosshair that was marked on the stabilizer)

Step 6:

Load your letter design into your machine. Attach hoop. Using your machines instructions “ trace” to ensure design placement is centered for embroidery. Make any necessary adjustments if needed. Begin the embroidering process. Stitch out of your letter design will take approximately 8 minutes based on your machine speed.

Step 7:

Embroidering complete. Remove hoop from the machine. Trim and cut any jump stitches or loose thread ends. Remove stabilizer. If you can’t get all the stabilizer removed… no worries as it will dissolve in water when the towel is washed.

Step 8:

Your personalized towel is now complete. Woohoo and congratulations! Stitch out another one for a gift set.
