I am excited about this towel that I made for a baptism at our church. Everyone liked it and so I decided to make some samples for my other friends that attend churches we have been to. The first ones I made I wrote on paper and then stitched over with thread and then washed off. This time I bought some wash away paper at Joann's Fabrics that you print on, it has adhesive and then it washes off. It is very nice to use and makes for a nicer look. It is 9 dollars for five sheets, but with a 40 percent off coupon you can get it cheaper. The person name and date would go below Baptism Day.
I can see someone who has a sewing machine that does lettering and it would be much faster than by hand, but I enjoy handwork. While I am sewing I can pray for the person which is wonderful. You can see that with the paper on before washing it looks more clear, but after washing it changes a little, but still looks wonderful. The paper really helps. I always wash with a cup of white vinegar and cold water and that sets any thread color mostly become of the red.
You can find very nice bath towels at WallMart for 2.98 each.
