I’ve been busy making gifts! I love the way these towels turned out. Looking at how beautiful these are, you’d think I was really talented at embroidery work. Well, not so much. It’s all about the machine! I hardly did anything.
This is my beloved sewing machine. My first sewing machine was my aunt’s old machine from the 60’s. I replaced it with a very basic sewing machine from Sears, about 15 years ago. Four years ago, when my Sears basic machine died, I bought this one from Costco. It has some basic embroidery features. Nothing fancy, but it does a little. I have the redwork embroidery card, so making dish towels is one of my favorite embroidery projects.
It’s not a whole lot of work, once you figure out how the machine works. Push a few buttons and watch the machine do its thing.
I usually buy packs of flour sack towels from Target. Last summer, I found these basic towels for .49 each at IKEA. The red stripe down the side make them perfect for the redwork design. I have a whole stack of these ready to go. I can’t wait to show you everything else going into the gift bags!

Beautiful work! I would not be able to use those towels. They would be display only & shame on anyone who tried to use them! I am a follower & saw this post on the dashboard. I go through there a few times a day to see new posts.
