Kathy H....I get the towels at Sams, they are called Bar Cloths - have found that if you cut 3 inches off of them your towel does not catch if you have to open the drawer. I use my overcast stitch on the raw edge of the towel and then it wont ravel. The 3 inch pieces make great little dishcloths, window washers and dustcloths if you cut them in half and then sew them together....hope this helps....
