I'm working on learning embroidery so I can do my
badge, after that, i'd like to work on some pretty towels
to hang and use for drying dishes, etc. Are there any particular
ones that i should use? Ironing isn't my thing, so i would have
to take that into consideration when picking a suitable farbric if possible, or I'll just have to start ironing once in a while!

Flour sack towels are the best, you can find them at www.herschners.com for a reasonable price and in two sizes.

I get the biggest ones that I can find, when I have alot of dishes to dry it gives me more towel to do it with.

Thanks - I'll pick some up. Do you just use some cotton clothe or such to "practice/learn" on?

Well I am a bit ashamed to admit I usually don't dry dishes but I never buy paper towels so my kitchen towels are used to wipe up my counters ect. So I was wondering what size would work best. My towels have always been made out of terry and the regular kitchen towel size (or should I say the modern kitchen towel size). I geuss it will be hard wiping up the first kool aid spill after spending so much time embroidering the towels. I am almost afraid to start.

I agree with Mary.. I have gotten the dish towels from Bobbinrobin... these are awesome! Some have been cut in half for the tea towel swap. and some left in the regular size. I am currently making some just for me!
