I get great results embroidering on these towels. The black stripe on the bottom is a perfect accent for many designs. These will shrink - a lot - so definitely prewash in hot water to get that over with. Don't spend all the time embroidering only to skip that.

These towels are quite nice. I pre-washed before embroidering as who wants to spend all that time just to see your design get wonky when the towel shrinks. Shrinkage wasn't bad, but these are 100% cotton and they will shrink. Wrinkles weren't too bad either. The embroidery came out lovely. I'd buy them again.

I was very impressed with the quality of the towel. It will go nicely in my kitchen. I will be ordering more.
