9769I think anything monogramed or has a name on it is special to the recipient. Doing all those towels is a lot of work, but the results are fabulous!
33640Clever girl Kerry, You have done a fantastic job here. Hugs :)
42046This is the perfect font for towels...thick enough to cover the terry, but not so thick as to be stiff and hard. I always use washaway on the back, but I do wash the towels before giving them. I sometimes use tulle on the top if I think the design will result in a lot of pokies. You do have to tear it away when done. I also use washaway on the top if the design has good underlay and covers the terry well.

thanks for the top tips. I wish I had of use wash a way on the bottom now, but oh well maybe next time...I am sure my daughter will think of something else for me to sew.
I believe she has a jacket from a work mate she has had for 3 mths she tells me to put 3 names on the back.

Thank you Lidia, and I did the kids (blue Ones) different
the Brides children....oh yes they have 2 children, but lovely that they finally did tie the knot so to speak.
78092WOW! you did a fantastic job! Last time I did towels I used a light tear away on the back. Of course WSS topping on the front.When finished I used the delicate cycle in the washer and extra fluff in dryer. You could not tell they had been washed.Also you could use a blunt wood turner to try and get the wss out if you wanted. I like the Washer.

Thank you, I was apprehensive to wash someone else's towels, hence I never...

86901They are wonderful. What a nice contribution you made to their wedding. I think name size on towels is very individual. I can be a bit of an introvert, (though talky) and I like my names small and subtle on towels. The point is not to take over the towel!

many thanks. It was trying even just to get the plastic off the front and I wondered just how much paper backing to get off also...anyone know about the rules/our rules of how much backing is expectable to leave on...I know we don't want to leave much...love Kerry
95245everyone loves personal things because they are great & so are yours!~hugs~
299557These are all quite beautiful. I am sure the wedding party recipients were delighted to get them. I know what you mean about going into stress mode. I am always concerned that the person I am making things for will like the item and appreciate my work.

It is always stressful when you do for others. I think we all go into panic mode just incase something goes wrong.
Job well done.
