Posted a picture of a few of my towels. The problem is, I'm afraid to use them.

I have some I use that I made and the ones that are sentimental to me I keep out just for display.

Cool tip Sheila. Those are so lovely Nancy. I want to do embroidery. When I was little my grandmother taught me how to do it but I have forgot most of it. I have always wanted to get back into it.

hi Nancy ; you can use you towels
take spray starch and
spray them really good
iron and let them dry
you can use shout spot remover in a blue bottle
if you get some thing on them
the spray starch acts like a procter from stains
i wear bib aprons and I spray starch all over the bib
and the skirt part
then put it in the dyer for a few minutees
if you get a stain on on it use the stain remover. hugs sheila

Lovely work as always. I had a favorite one that I loved and I thought I would "try" and use it. It ended up getting ruined and I said never again. If I embroider something, I use it for decoration only. The do look so pretty hanging up in a room.

I got a set when I got married twenty eight years ago and have used them all these years. They are so sturdy and I love seeing them!

I have a beautiful set of "days of the week" hand embroidered towels that I was actually gifted from a fellow farmgirl. They are so beautiful, but like you gals, I can bring myself to use them for fear of them getting ruined!
Very pretty towels Nancy Jo!

I have a set my grandmother stitched. Pinned to them, in her handwriting, on a little slip of paper, it says "For Shirley". Well. needless to day they have never been used!! Much too precious. Yours look so pretty too!

Those are beautiful! I'm afraid to actually use any like that that I have. I just use them to decorate my kitchen!
