wanna see something different?

Those are very nice! I really like them. 31 July is my Anniversary!!! When you embroider on towels, do you use water soluble stabilizer on the front or tulle or something to keep the stitches from sinking into the fibers of the towel? I read once to use tulle?? Your work looks really REALLY good! What did you use on the back, tear-away or cut-away or something different?

Thanks. I don't know if they know they are getting them or not. Last year I did hats and this year towels. I put a grommet in the upper right corner too, so they can hang it on their golf bags.
ButtercreamCakeArtist, I put a small piece of tearaway on the back where the golf ball is (because the design is so dense) and 2 layers of WSS (I use either H2gone or aqua mesh) on the back. I used 1 layer of the WSS on the top too. BTW, Happy Anniversary early.
I have used tulle before, but these are pretty thick towels and they turned out just fine.
I prewashed the towel 1st, then washed them again afterwards.

Love your idea. We where invited to a Birthday (90) of my husbands golf partner. This would be great idea. Thank you for sharing.
That is one thing about this group. They always have such great ideas.
