Working with Designs on Towels
Towels, robes and other thick fabrics can be difficult to secure in a frame. Hooping a stabiliser then floating an item over the top before securing it in place with easily removable basting stitches is an invaluable workaround to regular hooping.
Hoop a piece of watersoluble mesh-style stabiliser. Lay towel on top of the stabliser in position, using clips to secure if needed. To prevent your design from sinking into the pile of the fabric and getting lost, lay a clear film watersoluble stabiliser on top of the towel.
Now, secure towel and top stabiliser to the hooped stabiliser with basting stitches.

Position Guide
Working on the right hand side of towel, centre design vertically within the towel’s band. Align right side of design approx 18mm from right edge of towel.
Size Guide
Based on the height of the towel’s band, use 50mm as max height for design.
Design Variation
For larger designs on towels or bath sheets, the Magnetic Sash Frame makes hooping quick and much easier.
Market insight
Towels vary greatly in quality and price, consider your pricepoints. Also where customers supply the towel, you miss the profit from the towel sale, so price accordingly.
Tip
Use a larger hoop than design requires. You’ll need room for basting stitches and working space to hold the towel in position.
Shortcut
The basting stitch function is built into the machine. Basting stitches are also useful for checking the position of your design.
Troubleshooting
For thicker fabrics, slow down the stitching speed
