Thank you!! I need to figure out ahead of time, if a design is actually a pair: I didn't notice when I did the tracing that it needed adjusting.

676I don't hoop the towels, only the stabilizer, your choice either tear a way or solvy, and use an adhesive spray and pins if needed and a top solvy to keep the loops from poking through. I have arthritis in my hands and any way to make hooping easier I will try. Your towels look great so you must have been doing something right.

Thanks for the tips & words of encouragement!! I used a tear-away on the bottom, and the wash away on top, but I didn't realize you didn't have to hoop the towel. Will try that next time. Thanks!!

you will never hoop another towel again once you do it this way, takes all the hassle out of hooping. do try it.

Thank you for the kind words. I still have LOTS to learn. After I had them stitched out, I found that they were not exactly a match - the letters were not the same height, so I would have needed to adjust the placement.
