Tips for this placement

- Choose bold fonts at least about 10 mm tall; thin scripts sink into the pile.
- Center the name on the side that hangs outward when the towel is folded on a rail.

Bath towel size questions

What size is a bath towel embroidery design?
Bath towel names and monograms are usually about 2 to 4 inches (50–100 mm) tall, centered on or just above the woven border. The width follows the name, often 6 to 12 inches.
How big should a name be on a bath towel?
About 2 to 4 inches tall for the capital letters, centered just above the border.
Do you embroider on the border or above it?
Either: on a flat woven border the stitches look crisp; above it, use a topping for the terry.
What size should I digitize the design at?
Digitize it at the final size, here about 8 × 3 in, rather than resizing a finished file: the stitches, density and underlay are then calculated for that size.
