    Nice towels and your friend loves them, I'm sure. I like your simple tip about how to get the edges turned. Thank you for sharing that tip and also thank you for sharing the info about the 505 temporary basting spray.

    Very cute idea... and great video on how to make them. Thank you! A quick tip... you can use small pieces of Stitch Witchery to help hold the folds and fabric in place before sewing!

    Great tutorial! On the corners I find if I use a little spray starch and iron in the miter and clip it, by the time. Get to the machine it will hold the corner without pins!

    The first day I got my rotary cutter I dropped it on my foot and wound up in the ER with stitches. But it didn't stop me. Lol

    I made my husband facemasks with that fabric. Now I know what to do with the leftover strips! Thanks, Tim Totten! Also, Thanks for the clear directions for those tight corners, they would have frustrated me.

    I find I need to pre wash everything first to eliminate shrink and dyes bleeding..red will bleed terribly.

      When you need a fast gift and just have some fun scraps, this is great! Everyone I know pretty much has all the stuff they need to survive, so making a gift seems to really go a long way, even when it’s as simple as this. Have fun!

    Just a question......do you need to prewash towel and fabric.

    • @timothytotten9409
      @timothytotten9409  2 года назад +3

      That’s really up to you. I usually prewash when I’m concerned about major shrinkage of the fabrics. So for big quilts I always do. But small projects like this don’t seem to be an issue. At least for me.

  • @NicoleCase
    @NicoleCase 3 года назад

    Some basic beginner questions... Are you using a Universal needle or what type is best when working with towels? If sewing fabric on top of hand towels or bath towels that may have more of a nap, do you recommend some sort of stabilizer for smoother sewing? If so, what type and when/how would you use the stabilizer?

    • @timothytotten9409
      @timothytotten9409  3 года назад

      I use a Janome 1600p. But it’s a straight stitch machine for high speed volume sewing. It lists around $1,150 new. There are plenty of good machines that are cheaper and not designed for the kind of high-intensity and long-duration sewing my company does.
