Something else that works great on towels is the Ultra Solvy. This looks and
feels like a heavy gauge plastic.
This can also be used as a backing by lightly dampening the Ultra Solvy and
applying like an adhesive backing.

Ed,
I was wondering if it was the cost. I have the 7 x 7 solvy which costs
$.05/sheet. I also bought a roll of solvy for larger items. The problem
with the roll is that it needs to be kept wrapped up so it being on a roller
is no longer an advantage but a disadvantage. Something I just learned,
like a light bulb went on, is that for topping I don't need to hoop the
solvy but can place it on the item just in the area to be sewn. Then with
slight dampening can stick it to the fabric in the corners so that it will
stay put. I save the larger solvy pieces I tear off to be reused!

Terri,
Well, I've never really done the math on this one but I'm guessing
it would
be a cheaper alternative. Depending on how you buy your solvy, small
pre-cut sheets of solvy have cost us between .06 to .10 cents a sheet. I'm
thinking of buying it in a roll next time. The plastic wrap serves the
exact same purpose but for a couple bucks or so you get several hundred
feet. It usually tears away from large areas with no problem. It's the
small areas where the densities are higher and there's more picking
involved. Besides, it keeps the fabric fresher. Hah, ha, ha.. There's a
joke to kick start your Friday.
Most folks say just pass the expense on to the customer and do the
job
right. I agree, but I also believe that through trying different
experiments, we might just discover the next big thing. It could happen!

I also use 2 layers of Solvy as my backing (sometimes 1 layer). Using solvy
as backing makes the towel just a little softer/flexible. I love doing
towels! Question - why saran wrap instead of solvy? Use Magic Sizing to
get rid of the solvy in small openings that are hard to pick out.

Towels get one or two layers of tear-away backing and always get at least
one layer of solvy on top. If the design is simplistic in it's edges, you
could also use saran wrap or glad wrap on top instead of solvy. Don't use
this if there is a lot of small openings like in small lettering. You'll be
picking all day and it still won't look good when you're finished. Material
thickness will depend on the thickness of the towel. Last night we were
running some towels and the M/T was around 8.
Good Luck,

First, I am looking for a source for high end towel sets (Bath, hand,
washcloth). They should be very soft and fluffy. They are for wedding,
shower, new home, etc. presents. All I can find are golf and beach towels.
Secondly, assuming that I can find these towels, does anyone have experience
on the Amaya embroidering these things?
Thanks.
