I would like to embroider some tea or hand towels, does anyone know a good source to buy them... Can I buy fabric and make my own ( what would I buy)... don't want flour sack.... my friends are tired of quilting projects thought I would surprise them with something new. Thx. Quilter 1234

I purchase premade towels from our local Dollar stores. If you do hand embroidery, you can back the embroidery with tear-away stabilizer or warm and natural depending on the look you are going for.

thanks, I will look there.... quilter 1234

The Dollar Tree has them too.

You can also find huck toweling and either fringe or hem the ends - it embroiders very nicely and lasts for years.

I've made tea towels from homespun fabric. Some I embroidered directly onto. Others I added a block of embroidered muslin.

I've always made mine from muslin and embroidered what I wanted on them.
