Suzette, this is darling - the biggest reason that you would have to use the two layers of the WSS topping on this towel - is the weave in the towel - you might not have had to on another towel or because it was such a light towel and you used such a dark thread - perhaps. I bet once this is used and washed a couple times - you will not even notice one way or the other. This is really a cute design for a kitchen. *4U
WOW! These are adorable! Thanks for sharing.
Love the colors you picked.
I love your chook and rooster tea towels. You have done a good job. Could you tell me where the designs came from. Thank you
Really cute rooster. I presume you used one layer of Avalon between the towel and the dark fabric, and the second between the dark and the light fabric to prevent cutting into the lower layer. I hardly ever you fray check when doing appliqué, but you can apply it along the tack down line, before cutting and embroidering the satin stitch. Especially useful if the material you use for the appliqués frays easily.
THANK YOU Mops for the tip!! I actually only used one layer of Avalon before I started the design. The "Dark fabric" you refer to, is actually thread and not fabric. The dotted piece is fabric.
