I did it, First attempt at embroidery on hand towels, my initial and my hubbys initial, he was so funny he admired it soo much, told me how great it was and how clever I was and it looks beautiful, then said "What do I do with it ?" MEN !!!! I got the font from Cute alphabet and it is the Petite Fleur font . I would like to thank all the cuties with their help and encouragement today, your all great, I was feeling a bit scary about it, but I did it. Hope you like my first attempt. Trish

thanks, I have been looking at them for a bit now and I think I will sew a strip of contrasting material along that bare line !!

by Trish56 06 Feb 2015

thankyou, yes it is a great feeling, the cutees have given me great confidence to do this and I appreciate it very much, I am looking now at having nothing but monogram towels in my bathroom, all different , that will drive my daughter crazy as she likes to see everything uniform.

by Trish56 04 Feb 2015

Thank you for the comments, the font name is Petite Fleur found at Cute alphabet. I have always loved this style of lettering , it is sort of Celtic. I also like old English font as well, which I will try .... one day.

I think I am already addicted, I feel like I get withdrawal symptoms if I am away from the machine for too long, and I swear that the machine calls me :)

by Trish56 06 Feb 2015

he is at the moment trying to work out the best spot to put them so everyone can see them when they visit.... I did suggest the bathroom, but he wasn't impressed :)

by Trish56 04 Feb 2015

Thank you Chris, I am very happy with the finish results, you would never know I got the handtowels from crazy prices for $1.50 each !! And thankyou for the idea of the freezer go between, it worked a treat.

Thanks, he is funny at times, every time I make something he especially if it is Irish Colours as he calls it, he puts them on the table he has beside him when he watches TV, he told me last night he needs a bigger table as he is running out of space !!!

That's just so sweet.

by Trish56 04 Feb 2015

thank you

by Trish56 04 Feb 2015

thanks very much

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

thankyou, I wasn't sure about placement, so once I had the design picked, I searched the Q & A to see if there had been any questions on placements, then went to Embroidery library, then Mr Google armed with all that I went for it, it seemed to work.

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

thanks ,

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

Thanks, placement was a bit scary , but this site is like an embroidery class that is open 24/7 and is a great source of information and help.

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

Thanks for your comments, I come to this site everyday, its as addictive as sewing I see all the work that cuties do and I am learning a lot. I get the "I can do this " feeling from here and then off I go. :) Trish

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

thanks

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

thank you so much, I was happy dancing all around the house that it worked, Hubby thought I was mad !!!

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

Thankyou Lillian, I am very please with the results, will do more for sure

by workbecky 03 Feb 2015

My last line was supposed to say have fun putting designs on all the towels. :)

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

Thank you for your comments. Getting the placement where I wanted it was a challenge, after I rechose my design ( my first choice wouldn`t have worked too many thin lines) I searched the cuties Q & A section to see if anyone had asked about placement, then emb library, then went to Mr Google with all that info and fingers crossed I hit the start button . It worked.!
This is addictive, I am already checking out the pillowcases, I think they have to be unpicked at the seams first ?

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

I have always admired personalized towels, never been able to afford them, now I can ! Doing them myself the sky is the limit to the choice of fonts that I use many ,many thanks for your comments I do love how they have turned out.

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

Yep he comes out with some beauties, but I would be lost without him. Thanks for your comments and encouragements

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

One of the cuties tipped me off this morning about the choice of designs for towels, she mentioned the lines, glad I was told about that as the first design I thought of doing was as you said skinny design and lines, and I would have been put off with the results, thanks for your encouragement today.

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

Thanks Lidia, I appreciate the help and encouragement everyone has given me for this attempt, I now see it was not necessary for me to be nervy about doing towels, the machine sewed through like a hot knife in butter.

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

the colours that came up to use would have been lost in the colouring of the towel, so I am glad I took the gamble and changed the colour. thanks for your help and comments.

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

thank you, I am very happy with these, will be doing more and more and more.........

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

thank you, I don't think I would have even attempted it only for the cuties, but am glad I did, they were right, I wont be able to stop at one, I am talking about doing all my house towels, face washers , then I can start on pillowcases..... Only thing is I am in the accommodation industry can you imagine how many towels, facewashers, bathmats, pillowcases I have !!! heheh

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

thank you,

by Trish56 03 Feb 2015

thank you, I changed the colours that the cute font said to use and used a dark brown for the letters , it was suppose to be a silver colour but it would not have shown on the beige handtowels.
