CREATING YOUR APPLIQUÉ TOWEL
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Next, lay your towel flat on your work surface, right side up.
Iron out any creases. Fold your towel in half lengthwise with
the right sides together and press the fold flat with your iron.
This is where the center of your design will be.

Place the folded towel on top of your hoop with the shorter
seam facing you and the extra fabric at the back. Using your
center fold as a guide, line up towel’s center fold with the
small marking stitch at the bottom.
Unfold your towel, right side facing up, keeping the middle
fold lined up with the center marking stitch. Notice how the
edge of the placement stitch lines up with the top of the
towel hem, not with the edge of the towel. This way, your
design does not stitch out onto the hem!
Hoop a piece of Wash-Away stabilizer and run the first step,
which is a placement stitch for where you’ll pin your towel.
There will be an additional marking stitch in this step to
indicate the halfway point for the middle of the towel.
NOTE: For our example, we are using design JTD10.
