First, I will prepare the bottom
section.
To do this, first fold
the towel in half lengthwise
(short ends aligned).
Press the fold with an
iron, and cut the towel in half.
Then, lay one half of the
towel flat right side facing up
and with the raw edge at the
top.
Create paper
templates of the designs by
printing them at full size using
embroidery software.
Arrange the templates on
the towel how you want them. I
positioned both designs in the
lower corners of the towel with
the outer edges of the designs
about 1 1/2" from the edges of
the towel.
Keeping the
designs in the lower corners
will help them to be visible
after the towel is pleated later
on.
Next, using an air-erase
pen or other marking tool, poke
holes in the center of the
templates and mark the fabric.
Also, mark the horizontal
and vertical axis points.
