After several months we have all four of the colorful Vintage Tea towels back in stock.  We were missing the 4 Stripe Colors and the GreenGold Stripe towels.

A replica vintage-style tea towel once found in most kitchens from the 1920's through the 1940's.  Back then, the homemaker would buy the toweling by the yard and have to cut and hem the sides.  Our  vintage look towel is hemmed on all 4 sides and is ready to add your embroidery or applique!
The four multi-color stripes will complement many kitchens as well as the decorative embroidery you will be adding!

The GreenGold Stripe towel will be beautiful with your choice of embroidery designs!  To make your stitching QUICK & EASY plus getting ready to stitch a snap use Sticky Fabri-Solvy to add your design to the towel.  Just print your design with your copier on the Sticky Fabri-Solvy film.  Add it to your towel and stitch right through the film.  Smooth and accurate too!  Remove with warm water…it dissolves right away.

Have some fun this summer stitching on towels for fall and Christmas gifts.  Each towel takes a short time to finish….stitch many!

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
