Cross stitching on bathroom towels


Give your bathroom a new look!
It's time to get rid of those tired and sad towels and give your bathroom a fresh set of towels.

There are several ranges of terry towels specifically designed for stitching. They all include a woven Aida area  where you can cross stitch. 

There are many designs you can pick from to stitch on these towels. Either use a chart that has specifically been designed for the size of the towels or use our handy size guide below to check if your pattern will fit the Aida area. If you can't find the right towel you can also stitch your motif on a piece of Aida and machine stitch it on a regular towel.



The splendid "parakeet" design shown here is specifically designed for the DMC bathroom towel range:the Bath towel,  Hand towel,  Guest towel and - Wash glove


Home dec ideas and tips

Match those colors!
Try and find some matching accessories that will compliment the colors of your stitching. It could be a vase, a set of hooks, a mirror...

Personalize your stitching
The great thing about cross stitching is that you can always customize your work. It could be a monogram or the name of a person on the towel which makes ideal as a gift. But it could also be words you like - romantic or with a sense of humour - and that will give you bathroom personality. Show how creative you can be!
 

Technical Information:

Did you know?
DMC cotton floss colors are colorfast which means you can machine wash them even at a high temperature, which makes them ideal for bathroom towels. Do not use metallics that cannot be washed at a high temperature and if you use other threads, check their specifications to make sure they will not run and will hold their color.

Finishing your thread.
Make sure each length of thread is solidly secured at the back of your stitching and will not come undone during washing. That would be a pity!
