Hi Sewnssewer2,
Your work is beautiful. I wonder if I could ask you a question about the waffle weave towel that you used. I was looking at these over the weekend and read that there is a lot of shrinkage in them. The site I looked at showed before and after and it was pretty surprising. On a 23" towel, it shrank to 20".
My question is this: do you wash them before embroidering? If not, how does the embroidery look after washing?
Thanks in advance,
Cathy
