my youngest son wanted fleur de lis designs on a set, actually made two sets, but only one set in picture.

other three with names was an order from a lady i know. she bought the towels at k-mart on sale for 6.00 each, which was a great buy, they were very heavy and big. quite a challenge.

Wow - did you embroider the names through that band of tight stitching? You should be really proud of yourself - they look great!

saginaw is the name, don't remember where i got it, could have been from sewforun.

Betty, you have done a great job with these towels - I like the lettering you used - is that on your machine? The different colors for the lettering really make the letters pop out, too. I really like the fleur de lis materal that you used on the applique fleur de lis, too. I bet your son loved his two sets. Great work here *4U

this was my first try putting names on large towels and doing applique on towels. lettering is called saginaw and i could not use the outline stitch which finished the letters because it was not lining up so just stopped the machine after each letter and moved to next. thanks shirlene.

shirlener88 by shirlener88 17 Jul 2011

Great that you were able to catch it and stop it. They look wonderful.

me too, but can't take credit, that's what they wanted and it was a great choice.

They all turned out really nice. Like that you used a different size of fleur de lis on the bath, hand, and face cloth.

thank you, these were free on the sewforum website a while back, there were 5 different sizes of the applique designs.
