One of the machines I have is a combo embroidery/sewing machine. I LOVE embroidery. I haven’t been doing enough of it lately! I needed to make a few hooded towels (remember how I love them?) and add names to a couple of them. The fabric I used to embellish the hood is a print from the new line Oh Boy! by David Walker. I think it’s super cute!!!!
Embroidery on a towel can be a little bit tricky because the terry is plush – which makes the stitches sink into the fabric and hide. Also the terry is too thick to hoop like you typically do. So I thought I’d show you how I embroider on a towel!
You’ll need to have a bottom stabilizer as well as a topper (to keep the stitches from sinking). I typically use a brand called Floriani, but I went and found the Sulky products that are similar because I know they sell these in JoAnn’s and Hancocks. (We don’t have a Hobby Lobby, so I don’t know if they sell them there!) If you have a local sewing machine shop, they might have a company they use and trust. The key is to get products that can wash away! The sulky items I found are called Fabri-Solvy and Super-Solvy. Since you won’t be able to hoop the towel, you’ll also want spray adhesive. I use Sulky KK2000. (Obviously you’ll also need embroidery thread and bobbin – if you need tips on those, let me know!)
Now that you have the supplies the process is fast. 
Start by hooping the Fabri-Solvy. Then spray generously with the KK200.
Next I put the hoop on the machine and place the area of the towel to be embroidered on top of the fabri-solvy.
Place the clear super-solvy on top of the towel and start the embroidery machine. I hold it in place for the first couple stitches.
When your embroidery machine is done, clip the jump stitches and simply tear away the super-solvy. Any that is left behind (like in the center of the letters) and easily be removed with a little bit of water.
Remove the hoop and cut the fabri-solvy close to the design. This will be washed away once the item is washed.
And now you’re done! I was only putting a name onto the towel, but it’d work the same way with a larger design. Have fun.
J-E-A-L-O-U-S! So wish I could just whip up some embroidery like that – such cute baby gifts!
It is really fun to have the option. And there are crazy cute designs out there.
So cute! I’ve neglected my embroidery module for years!
I now have another sewing machine, so I just leave this set up as the embroidery machine. It makes it nice. Even so, I haven’t used my nearly as often as I need to!
Great project! I am used sulky kk2000 with nice results. Thanks for the inspiration.
I should have given you a shirt to do for Jairus’ b-day. We love his 2 year one!
Thanks, your tut has been very useful. I’ll try it out and see how I go.
Your final results picture is just stunning.
Bravo!
Love it!

I love the alphabet that you used. Where can I get it? Daenette
I was wondering the same thing! Love it!
We will need Machine Embroidery on a Towel.

The developers are saying that Defiance is a pixel perfect shooter, so if you
aim at your target’s head it WILL be a headshot instead of the invisible dice rolling a 5 and telling you that you somehow missed. The only downside of it in a lot of people’s eyes
is the fact that there is no multiplayer content.
The most unique thing about Ouya is that it is said to be “open”
– although what this means is up for interpretation.
Enjoy the public open-air concept loo and shower area.
What we can do is to really accept what we did while forgiving that part of us that was unaware of what we were doing or how it would impact other
people; the part that just doesn’t always get it right. The only issue I have is that they really should have found a way to double face the can, so it will work better in store shelves.
Equally problematic is Mattie Hawkinson’s Desdemona: nasal of voice and flat in affect, she comes across more as a spoiled suburban brat than the daughter of a criminal kingpin’which is possible.
She said she saw four songs and then left because we sounded like a Black Flag
cover band. If he feels his son was mistreated he could very well go out of his way to cause
a shit storm for Leach and get public support on the side of his son.
Camping first aid kits are different from the first aid kits you may
have at home, as they will be stocked with supplies to treat outdoor injuries, such as snakebite, burns, sprains as well as animal and insect bites.
They have a sign up that they are closed for cleaning from 2PM to 3PM – while at Buttermilk there is only one bathroom for
the whole campground and I can see why they can’t close it. There was no swimming at Buttermilk Falls during the week but the staff suggested we drive two miles to Treman State Park – and WOW what a swimming hole they have.
