tips and getting started |

Huck toweling (or huck fabric) has vertical loops on one side and horizontal loops on the other; each set of directions below states on which side the design is to be worked.

When beginning weaving, leave 3 inches of thread free. When weaving is complete, weave back through the design for 1 inch, and finish off the 3-inch length in the same manner.
When starting a new thread in the center of a row, begin weaving 1 inch before end of previous thread.
When article is completed, place embroidery face down on a soft towel and press well on wrong side of embroidery. |
