Directions for Monogrammed Guest Towels Project / February 2001

(This project utilizes letters from our Arabesque Monogram Set 4.

Step 1. Print the instructions.

These are .pdf files, and require Adobe Acrobat Reader software in order to view and print.
To insure printing in exact size, be sure that FIT TO PAGE (see Properties under the Print Menu) is not selected.

Step 2. Review instructions and materials required (materials list at the end of these instructions).

Step 3. Purchase Accent Designs

This project set includes 3 variations of border accents, as follows:

Towel01 - a one-color decorative interlocking tulip design. The design is duplicated twice.
Size: 3 1/2" (90mm) wide.

Towel02 - a one-color decorative design consisting of a small branch and leaves. The design is repeated four times, with alternating top and bottom orientation.
Size: 3 1/2" (90mm) wide.

Towel03 - a one-color decorative ribbon and flower design.
Size: 3 1/2" (90mm) wide.

Step 4. . Merge Designs

Choose the accent that you wish to work with, and merge it with a letter or letters of your choice.

(Note: in our illustration we have used the Towel01 accent design, along with the letter B (large size) from the Arabesque Monogram Set 4. We have used the accent design only once. You can easily create longer borders by repeating this design several times.

Depending on the size of your hoop, multiples of the accent design can be merged within your software, or sewn out individually by aligning the designs on a center line drawn with an air soluble marker)

Step 5. Embroider the letter and accent

Hoop a sheet of stabilizer along with the top fabric, and carefully position the hoop so that the letter chosen will sew in the center of the guest towel. We have positioned the design so that the bottom edge of the border accent is 2" (50mm) from the bottom edge of the towel hem.

Congratulations! Your project is complete.
