Heres a good tip for all you Embroiderers that end up reverse sewing I Embroidered 2 Towels and the person they were for spelt the names wrong after un picking the names I noticed a certain amount of the colour fibres stayed in the Towels as I wanted them as new I resorted to my trusty Two Dollar Lint Roller from the cheap shop rolled it front and back and wallar!!!!!!! not a spec of thread colour to be seen I re stitched the names and you wouldnt even know it was changed

Great idea! I love those cheap stores. Hope you were able to collect an appropriate fee for having to re-do the towels. Unpicking--especially on terrycloth--is no easy task.

I'm glad you were able to save the towels. Sticky tape or the Lint Rollers are always a good item to have in your sewing area.

Great hint. I always forget about the lint roller and I do keep one in the sewing room. Hugs. Nan W

Those lint rollers are ideal to use on any project after finishing as well. Any stray thread are removed in one go - towels, fleece and other fabrics with pile look so fresh after that.
