I too, use as much of the center 1/3 of the towel as I can. My monograms are always 5-6 inches.
158560I do a lot of children's hooded towels & use the 5x7 hoop..for a design & name together. But never go beyond the 5x7 range on regular or it won't show when folded to hang if it's a towel without a hood.
35675I look at the density of the design. If it is to loss after a few washings the towel will start to show between the stitches.

I have Floriani Heat N Gone, to use as a topper for toweling. You can probably tear away most of it, what you can't you touch with the iron & it vaporizes. But it keeps the loops from working through. It's like a plastic wrap, but it's not water soluble, it stays thru washings.
7261I make sure the whole design will show when the towel is folded in thirds, as you would do if you were hanging say 2 towels to a bar. So the size of the towel determines the size of the design. Unless of course you are putting a design all across, perhaps in that flat woven, non-loopy part that separates the margin from the main towel, then go all the way across with a small design. Good luck! Hugs, Marji
33451lexus I usually look at things in the store & see what they are selling to get a perspective on what I am going to do. As asterix said, a lot depends on the size of the towel. Towels in store have all sizes. If u can print a template out of what u want to do & lay it on the towel this will give u a good idea of where to start in how large or small. *4U
145789Depends on the size of the towel.
Sitting in front of my laptop I am not sure how big I put a design on a bath towel. 10-15 cm probably, it also depends on the design. Flannels I do about 3 cm. I have only put a single alpha on a towel. If it was for a child for school I would do it very big, just so they could see it very easily
Someone else will be far more precise than me
