New Embroidered Tea Towel Design

Time to think about yummy fruits and veggies. Our new Fresh Picked Tea Towel designs show off 6 oversized fruits and veggies in fun “containers” . These colorful towels are sure to add some amusement to the drying of your dishes!

The Dunroven House cotton tea towels with colorful stripes will complement the design illustrations and are great to stitch on. Of course, I printed each of the designs on Fabri-Solvy to make life QUICK & EASY. Using the wonderful printable water soluble film makes you so “clever” as you get ready to stitch in a flash. Your embroidery pattern is also accurate and on the towel right away.

Because toweling is a heavier fabric, it is not easy to trace designs directly onto it with a Pigma Marker. Fabri-Solvy gives you your design ready “in an instant” and makes a nice smooth surface to embroider on. What’s not to like? Give it a try.

Scroll down to the April 6 Blog post below to see more about Fabri-Solvy and Transfer-Eze….both products super to use. They are each from a different manufacturer. We have both for you to buy and use.

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day. Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel. He only took a couple of hours one night to complete. A hint for you to speed your embroidery. Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design. You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color. This little cutie would make a great ornament too. Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way. FUN! I used our handy dandy Transfer-Eze to print the Freebie Santa and finger press on our Dunroven House tea towel. The Freebie design can be put on your light box to trace directly onto the fabric – BUT – toweling is a little thicker and rougher than muslin. Using Transfer-Eze solves the problem. The smooth Transfer-Eze film put on your towel gives you a nice design line to see and a smooth surface to stitch on. T

Transfer-Eze Embroidery Magic

Lots of us have been having a wonderful time using Transfer-Eze , the NEW water soluble film on paper backing you can use with your printer. Instead of the tedious task of tracing embroidery designs onto fabric you can print the design on the Transfer-Eze. I printed a snowmen for a new design twice – one for Embroidery and one for Needle Felting on wool fabric. Just pull the Transfer-Eze film off the paper backing. To conserve the paper, I cut off one snowman and still have 2/3 of the paper left to print on again later! Dark fabrics are nearly impossible to trace an embroidery design on as the light from your light box doesn’t go through the dark fabric. Transfer-Eze is just the ticket! Finger press your printed design on the dark fabric. I found the Transfer-Eze adhered better to the fabric after the fabric was washed to remove the sizing. The printed design shows beautifully on the film pressed on the dark red fabric. This is going to be EASY to embroider! Add your hoop
