I made these this year for each of our girls. The daughters, granddaughters, granddaughters-in-law, my best friend, and my sister, and added one for me. I had issues with one of my machines, and the embroidery arm would not calibrate, so it goes into the shop. I decided to use this machine to finish these up while my other machine was doing embroidery. I must have broken and entire pkg of needles. Could not figure out what was causing it. I chose the cardinal towels for me and my sister, as this was our mother's favorite bird. I learned a lesson...you can't button them down as I first started, for you cannot get the loop over the stove handle. So I made ties for each of them.
