| These designs are great for embellishing household items, such as quilts, curtains, pot holders, etc. We embroidered them on tea towels. |  |
| We used two 100% cotton tea towels. As an additional embellishment, we made a decorative strip of contasting fabric in the middle of each towel. |  |
| Rip the hems on the short sides of the towel. Out of cotton fabric cut a strip 4 1/2" wide and the length of the towel. Fold the edges of the strip back 1/4" and press. Top-stitch the strip to the towel. Finish the hems. |  |
| Stabilize the towel with tear-away mesh (you can also use water-soluble stabilizer). Do the embroidery. If you like, you can also decorate the margins of the strip with ric-rac. |  |
| This is a close-up of the second design. We used the design for the large hoop, so that it would overflow the edges of the strip. |  |
