What size do you use for your embroidered towels?
I have been working on a towel but it seems really big. Better to dry with I suppose

YEA I was wondering that too, the flour sack towels seem a bit large, I think aunt jenny uses flour sacks, maybe she can tell us.

I like the big ones, but sometimes they are harder to find. I say "the bigger the better". They can make a cute little card table cloth if they are big enough too!! Or if they are square I like to center them in the middle of the kitchen table but diagonal..does that make sense? for a center thing..with a basket of fruit on it. I like the ones with fruit embroidered on a corner for that...or the tractor one I use alot in my kitchen.

Good question! I've been looking around for towels to embroider, and I guess I'm thinking more "tea towel", or "hand towel, or "guest towel" size, but looking up dimensions for tea towels and flour sack towels on the internet I'm coming up with anywhere from 18 x 26 to 30 x 30, and maybe even larger. Quite a range, so i guess whatever you have will work--it doesn't look like there's a right or wrong!

I just use the flour sacks as i find them .. and i also love 'vintage' towels. actually, i RARELY actually DRY my dishes .. have never used a dishwasher (and most homes i have lived in had them .. luckily these olde cabins don't waste space that i wouldn't use with one) .. but i love to 'drape' them over the dishes as they are self-drying. you can take a towel that you love and cut your feedsacks to that size. xoxo
