I have a question I hope you all can help me with. Do you prewash your kitchen or bath towels before you embroidery on them? I have prewashed my material for sewing quilts ect but alway ironed & starched them after and that obviously wouldn't be work with terry cloth. Thanks for any help or ideas.

In reference to washing kitchen towels before embroidery...I do prewash (preshrink) before embroidery as most are cotton.

I do prewash towels and for that matter everything I am going to embroider on. I just think that everything comes out better if it is preshrunk. I know that there are a lot of embroiders that don't prewash and really it comes down to what you like to do. BeckyB, love your eyeglass case.

I don't prewash the towels but I do the kitchen towels since they are cotton. But it is a preference. Love that eyeglass case!

Normally I don't prewash, BUT if it is a waffle weave towel than I DO prewash.

Is it difficult to use the digitizing software? I would like to be able to digitize yorkie photos into embroidery designs. And how pricey is the software? I just purchased a Janome MC350E

I have 5D pro and it does the portrait but I haven't got into it too much. If you only want to digitize yorkie you can google and their is a web site that will digitze any design; might be cheaper than buying the software. I've seen Floriani's software but not sure how easy it is to use. There is supposed to be tutorials on it to help you along. The one thing that I've seen that i like is that they don't charge you when there is an upgrade and there is no dongle to keep track of.
