Regardless of what a Janome dealer tells you, and before you get upset, I sold and held classes on Janome embroidery machines and love them, use wash away on both sides, you'll be happier with the results.
I agree; wash away on both sides is by far the best way to go. I'm right now in the process of doing a set of tea towels for a friend for Christmas. I use wash away on both sides. I've also done many many monogrammed bath towel sets. I use wash away for that as well.
I used to use tear away but then I discovered the great new products on the market - I go to JoAnns every so often to check out what's new - this is how I discovered the wash away that I use. It's worth your time to spend an hour or two perusing the products that are now being sold.
