I am having less confidence doing towels now. Sometimes the outline just doesnt match and its rather disheartening to see that.


ps Stabiliser isnt removed.

Put some tear away stabilizer underneath and use a temporary adhesive to hold it steady. Then hoop WSS,Towel and tear away. Your towels will be perfect every time!

Thanks for the comment! I didnt use temporary adhesive because cant really find in my country. I think i saw one before but i am not sure if i can use that for fabrics. Its over USd15 or 20+ for small bottle so I dont dare to buy.

But i think thats the thing to make it steady. After embroidery on several towels, i noticed they tend to come loose on the hoop by themselves (slightly) but its this slight movement that caused those with outlines to go out of alignment.

I will write down yr advise and remind myself to follow these steps. Hope i can master my towels embroidery skill :) Thanks!
