Does anyone know where I can find...
 

I use the flour sack towels from Walmart. I wash them, no softner, then partial dry. Then I use a strong starch solution and iron them. Embroidery does very well for me.

Hobby Lobby ? or online I think Mary Maxims has them

A friend showed me the WalMart flour sacks she had purchased, and yes the quality of them is terrible, the are slightly better than cheese cloth. She did not use them.

Have you done a google search?

Nancy's Notion carries them.

Try www.embroiderthis.com They usually carry good quality flour sack towels. Good luck!!!

Clotilde's, Keepsake Quilting, Connecting Threads

Walgreen's towels are not bad but pricey. Sam's club has some towels that are supposed to be pretty nice for embroidery. I've never used them though.

Martha Stewart sells them, very good quality. JoAnns has them also.

Nice website! Thanks for the link!

I always purchase them from the Thrifty White Drug. Have the best towels and are only about 99 cents each plus tax. I picked up a lot of them and had my mother embroider them and then gave them to my kids so they had something from their Grandma hand made. I got the last ones from her about a month before she had her massive stroke and passed away.

Thats what I use and they work great for me!

Aa about blanks has nice towels

Sorry..all about blanks.

ME TOO...been using them for years...Hobby lobby has Aunt Martha's, but are always out when I need them. We have Atwoods, a farm supply place and they also have a no name brand that are pretty good and they sell them individually, so if I mess one up, I can easily replace it!

No matter what brand I use, I wash them in HOT water with a mild detergent and NO softener, hang to dry til damp then press.

I have used the ones from Walmart and Sam's with no problem. Dam's didn't have them this week, now carry a terry towel.

there's a catalog called Herschner's where you can get them. Might try to search for them online. We used to get their catalogs all the time.

J.C. Penneys has them......sometimes on sale

Try http://marymaxim.com

I get mine from Herrschners catolog. Toll Free 1 800 441 0838 they are good and they come in 3 sizes! If you order $35.00 before Dec. 24 you get free shipping. Please mention code F97 I have 3 sisters and we all use these tea towels. We get the big ones that are 32X36, they also have 24X36 and 17X37 they come in sets of 7. You can order online @Herrschners.com

You can also try AllAboutBlanks.........they do have excellent quality kitchen towels for embroidery.

I have bought at Bed Bath and Beyond and their quality is pretty good. If you don't have one close by you can go on line and order!

I saw some very nice ones today at a quilt shop on Cape Cod, so I imagine that other quilt shops might sell them too, perhaps some in your area. Good luck finding them.

Fabric.com has them too. But like others have said, the Walmart ones are good too. I just made a batch of Oven Door Dresses for Christmas presents and used the ones from Walmart. And I have used them for painting too.

You can look at the towels on www.missouriquiltco.com. They sell fabrics, towels, etc. Super quick service also!

K mart has them from Martha steward

hobby lobby used to have a great supply i must admit lately since ive been quilting steady i havent bought any and to be perfectly honest i havent bought any embroidery items or cross stitch stuff in a long time. i got bit hard by the quilting bug and hardly ever cross stitch anymore about the only thing i pick up is floss or the occasional piece of aida cloth.
ive been quilting steady and hard the last few years.

I have gotten mine at Kmart. They're from Martha Stewart. I've given many as gifts and they seem to hold up well.

Missouri Star Quilt has great ones.

I've seen them at Hobby Lobby and at JoAnn's.

Check Herrschner's. They have them online herrschners.com. Maybe that will help you. I always got mine in January at Walgreen's. I would buy like 49 at a time, so I could embroider them and give them as a seven day set (I never put the day on) They also have good transfers also (you can find the same at Hancock's). Hope this helps! Edie

Joann's! I bought some there. Not bad.

Great thread I will be following to see the outcome and tips you get.

I bought the ones from Walmart just to use to in my kitchen. When they come out of the dryer they are so wrinkled that I have to iron them before I will use them to dry dishes with.LOL
And I HATE to iron. I gave one to one of my sons because flour sack towels absorb so very well and when he saw how it looked when it was washed and dryed he threw his in the trash. Not the reaction you'd want for something you put time in to embroider. Not all of the younger generation will use things that stay wrinkled and not all will iron.

Try www.marymaxim.com I've seen flour sacks in their catalogues.

Sam's has BiG flour sack towels. I use them all the time. They are not expensive. You get a big stack of them. They are in the kitchen supply area, close to the mops and brooms.

I recently went on a search for toweling/tea towels. They didn't know what I was talking about when I went to Joanne's. They said to check online. Well, I found some thru "Quilter Studio" They sell by the yard and individual or sets of tea towels. They gave me excellent service and prices are very good. Whe my order came, there was a personalized hand written letter on the botton of my invoice letting me know about some special pricing. I will order more from them. web site is www.quilterstudio.com. The are in Westminster, Ma.

Dharma Trading Co....quality flour sack towels....
