This has been such a helpful video with great explanation on the various stabilizers. Also good to learn about products I’ve never heard of, like the tape.
Thank you so much for your presentation. I’m new to embroidery and appreciate what you teach in your videos. Now I feel more comfortable before trying out my first towel embroidery.
Carmen, Thank you for this wonderful informative learning video!!! You are indeed an amazing speaker and teacher. I learned so much. I have been embroidering on towels for a while and you taught me so much. I love your videos!!! Thank you!! ps: The Floriani Book is the greatest!!
Thank you for your video that is very informative. I want to use my new embroidery machine to add some cute season images on my towels and you explained how to accomplish it!
Great video. I am just starting to look for information on embroidering on dish towels. Your video will be helpful for sure. Question about the terry towel you did. Where do I find the knock down pattern with the monogram letters? Thanks so much and I plan on trying to see some of your Tuesday videos soon.
Thank you for the video. I am going to embroider some towels for a golfer. My question is…using the tear away in the back, what is the easiest way to get all the paper off? I don’t want any of the paper showing when I get done. Thank you for any help.

hi Thank you for the great tutorial. I am always questioning which stabilizer to use. I have all of the stabilizers you used. I was told to use cut away for towels because they are washed so often. I have been using multiple layers for more dense designs. The problem is the back of the towel is so stiff. Do you always use tear away? Do you every need to use several layers of tear away or is one layer enough? the store I purchased my Floriani stabilizer told me to use cut away for towels. do you ever have trouble with the designs on the towels curling up after multiple washings? Thank you I am new and would appreciate any help you could give me.
Here are some ideas for you. Use Wet and Gone on the back. This will work like a cutaway but will wash out when laundered. If you need extra stability, consider using a layer for Stitch and Wash. Some of the fibers will wash out, but the remaining ones will maintain stability. Always use a topper to control the knap. Hope this helps! Happy Sewing.
Very informative tutorial. Thank you. Please can you tell me what chair you’re using as it looks a good tall chair to adjust. I just can’t find the correct chair to sew with. Thank you 😍
Enjoyed your teaching video! For the kitchen towel which wasn’t a terry fabric, did you actually hoop that one in the hoop since it isn’t bulky? Thanks!!
You can just keep your stabilizer on the roll. We usually organize them with colored slap bands to keep track of the type of stabilizer since they all look a lot alike. Nothing special for storage is required. If you have a wet & gone you will want to be sure you store it in a dry place. Typically keeping them on a shelf or rack on your sewing room works great.
Hello....do you use tender touch for the back? I know that the tear away will eventually fall off with the washes.....Some use Tender touch on the back.....Let me know please
When doing the towels we used the perfect stick tearaway stabilizer and nothing else on the back. We do use a heat and gone topper for the front but nothing "extra" on the back. Thanks!
It won't leave any residue as you tear away the topper after the stitching is complete. What is left of the topper is under the stitches of the embroidery design so it will not come into contact with your iron.
Embroidery thread does not melt when ironed. Using a pressing cloth when ironing your embroidery design is a good idea so you don't flatten the switches too much, but you don't have to use one. With the heat and gone topper, you would just iron that away and be left with your beautiful stitches.
The white bath hand towels for the pumpkin and monogram were purchased from Target. The kitchen style towel was made with toweling material that we carry on rolls in the store and then you make the towel, napkins or table runner the size that you want it to be.
This might be a little late but any particular threads that you like best? Do you use embroidery thread in the bobbin also or just a coordinated color sewing thread in the bobbin?

Like the and have been learning. Thank You The dang phone ringing in the background ihas got to go s so distracting. I keep missing things and have to rewind.
Thank you for your feedback. We have recently created a studio so we have less background noise. We hope you enjoy our How Do I videos and appreciate your feedback.
Thankyou for your video and experience but what a shame you’re not able to have a quiet place to record. The background noise is extremely distracting and you’re practically shouting to be heard above their talking and doorbell noise. I persevered as I value your advice, but this isn’t ideal for quality video production and I won’t subscribe until you have a more suitable space for your work. Thankyou again but that must have been extremely frustrating for you too.
This was one of our early videos when we were just getting started. We have been lucky enough to build a studio so our videos are all very quiet. Check out our How Do I series.

If you use a wash-away stabilizer, you can remove all of it with just a bit of water, leaving nothing behind.
Love this! Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

I had to laugh when you said to check the tightness of the embroidery foot. Guess how I know that's good advice ? lol. TY for excellent lesson.
We try to make all the mistakes and share them with you so you don't have to make them too! Thanks for watching.
Very informative tutorial. Thank you. Please can you tell me what chair you’re using as it looks a good tall chair to adjust. I just can’t find the correct chair to sew with. Thank you 😍
That is a Koala SewComfort Chair. They're wonderful: www.qualitysewing.com/koala-xl-chair.html
Enjoyed your teaching video! For the kitchen towel which wasn’t a terry fabric, did you actually hoop that one in the hoop since it isn’t bulky? Thanks!!
Yes, the thinner fabric we did hoop. The fluffy fabric we used the perfect stick.
How do you preserve the stabilizer once it is opened? Will it dry out or not for the stabilizers used in the video?
You can just keep your stabilizer on the roll. We usually organize them with colored slap bands to keep track of the type of stabilizer since they all look a lot alike. Nothing special for storage is required. If you have a wet & gone you will want to be sure you store it in a dry place. Typically keeping them on a shelf or rack on your sewing room works great.
Love this video. Thank you for all the helpful information! What machine is this?
Carmen was sewing on the Brother Luminaire XP2

Where can I get the Floriani handbook of stabilizers?
You can purchase that online here www.qualitysewing.com/floriani-stabilizer-and-tool-workbook.html
What type of needle did you use?
A standard Embroidery 80 usually does the trick! Make sure to use a topper.
Hi Carmen, does cut away come in black? I have a few black towels I’d like to do.
Yes it does. You can find it here www.qualitysewing.com/floriani-power-mesh-onyx.html
Thank you. Is that the sticky one like you used in the video?
Does the top stabilizer leave any residue on your iron? I use a heat press or a cricut press
It won't leave any residue as you tear away the topper after the stitching is complete. What is left of the topper is under the stitches of the embroidery design so it will not come into contact with your iron.
is there any thread which not bleached out on embroidery logo?
Do you want to know which threads won't lose their color in the wash?
@@QualitySewingWA yes exactly i have found madaira poly thread that doesn’t bleed in bleach wash. But i did not try it yet have you tried?
@@LinkBuildingExpert99 We use Floriani embroidery thread as it is color-safe and won't bleach out.
@@QualitySewingWA thank you i am going to use madera thread lets see how it will work.
Doesn’t the iron melt the threads of the embroidery when trying to iron the topper off?
Embroidery thread does not melt when ironed. Using a pressing cloth when ironing your embroidery design is a good idea so you don't flatten the switches too much, but you don't have to use one. With the heat and gone topper, you would just iron that away and be left with your beautiful stitches.
Can you recommend where to purchase those towels? Thanks!
We purchased the towels for this project from Target.
what brother machine is this please
Carmen was sewing on the Brother Luminaire XP2
Dry iron, or with steam? Are you going to feature the new colorful toppers as a Sew Fun product soon?
You can find the color keep topping here www.qualitysewing.com/embroidery-color-keep-topping.html
What kind of towel are you using? Where did you purchase them? Looking for a white towel without a thick pile to use in the kitchen.
The white bath hand towels for the pumpkin and monogram were purchased from Target. The kitchen style towel was made with toweling material that we carry on rolls in the store and then you make the towel, napkins or table runner the size that you want it to be.
This might be a little late but any particular threads that you like best? Do you use embroidery thread in the bobbin also or just a coordinated color sewing thread in the bobbin?
We love to use pre-wound bobbins in the same color thread as the top stitching color www.qualitysewing.com/quilters-select-40-bobbin-set.html
Are those terry cloth? Bathroom towels? Where did you purchase them Carmen....what kind are they??? thank you for video

What did you set your tension at?
We did not adjust the tension.

We used the Brother Luminaire 2 (XP2) in this video: www.qualitysewing.com/brother-luminaire-innov-is-xp2-sewing-quilting-embroidery-machine.html
