Forest animals silhouette set - 7 sizes

A: For optimal results, it's recommended to use terry hand towels with a weight between 400 to 600 grams per square meter (GSM). This range offers a balance between absorbency and ease of embroidery. In the U.S., this corresponds to approximately 12 to 18 ounces per square yard.

Q: How should stabilizers be used when embroidering on terry cloth towels?

A: When embroidering on terry cloth towels, it's essential to use two types of stabilizers:

• Backing Stabilizer: Place a medium-weight tear-away stabilizer beneath the towel to prevent puckering and provide support during embroidery.

• Topping Stabilizer: Apply a water-soluble topping on top of the towel to prevent stitches from sinking into the fabric's loops.

Q: What is the proper method for hooping terry cloth towels for embroidery?

A: Due to the thickness of terry cloth, traditional hooping can be challenging. Instead, use the "floating" method:

1. Hoop the tear-away stabilizer tightly.

2. Spray the stabilizer with a temporary adhesive.

3. Smooth the towel onto the adhesive, ensuring it's flat and secure.

4. Place the water-soluble topping over the towel.

5. Use pins or basting stitches to hold all layers in place, ensuring they don't shift during embroidery.

Q: How should the water-soluble topping be applied on the towel?

A: After positioning the towel on the hooped stabilizer:

1. Lay the water-soluble topping over the embroidery area.

2. Secure it with pins, tape, or by using a basting stitch to prevent movement during stitching.
