My husband got me a second hand dream machine 2. Love it . Just started doing embroidery really enjoying it.

Love it! I made an apron for my granddaughter. The designs are great

You make it look so easy. I'm still trying to figure mine out!

The hooping definitely took me the longest. Just keep working with it. You’ll get it. 😊

Your yea towels look so high quality, I’ve been searching for some and I’ve found mostly cheap thin towels, I am so disappointed! Can you tell me where else I can purchase good quality towels…?

Pretty

You are awesome! Your instruction is so easy to follow. I can’t wait to work on my holiday towels!

Thank you, Kathy!

I llike the Kia scissors for trimming jump stitches. They have a very sharp tip and are good to get in the tight spaces.

I have the same question

It’s easier if you use a sharp seam riper to cut jump stitches

What type of chair do you have for sewing?

Removing jump stitches, use smaller embroidery scissors.

You don’t mention moving the design on the machine screen. I had thought you were going to center it on that last fold you made.

Cute, cute, cute! 💕💕💕 What would happen if the extra stabilizer was not completely removed? Does it eventually desolve when washed?

Esther- I would think it would come off in the wash. 😊

How did u put stabilizer on? Paper on outside?

Make tea towel that hang

Do you prewash your tea towel first?

Sharon- No, I did not pre-wash my tea towel. I didn’t notice a lot of shrinkage when I did wash it. I think you would be fine whether you pre-washed or not. 😊

Lovely work. Thanks for sharing ♥️ Please will you let us know where did you purchase the towels? Thanks 😊 ❤️

Hi Sara- I purchased the towels from my local sewing shop.

I just received my embroidery machine. The first project I'd like to make is tea towels. My sewing store recommended wash away stabilizer.. Have you tried that at all?

@TheCraftyAuthor

Yes. I use wash away stabilizer on the front and tear away on the back. I feel the water soluble is an absolutely must for the front. 😊

So if you were begin to embroidery what size would be the best hoop to mostly use

@TheCraftyAuthor

Karen- It depends on what size your machine will work with. My personal opinion is to get a 5x7 hoop. 😊

Can u match ur top and bottom thread so looks nice

Hi Allison- I would imagine that you could. It would be a lot of color changes and trimming of threads though. 😊

The link for towel will not work.

They must not be selling the towels anymore. That was the direct link to their website. You can embroider on any tea towel, I was just sharing the link to the brand that I used. Hopefully, they will get some more back in stock.

Do you leave the back of the towel as is? Or iron on something over it ?

I just leave the back as is. I use water soluble stabilizer and then clean up the loose threads. 😊
