I just finished making another personalized baptism towel with a CTR shield on the front. I love making these embroidered towels as gifts. Don’t you love how it turned out?
A CTR baptism towel is a great keepsake and a nice way for kids to remember their special day. I’ve made quite a few of these personalized baptism towels for friends and family. If I know the date of the baptism, I like to embroider that on the towel, too. I also like to do the embroidery in the child’s favorite color.
I bought the CTR embroidery file from The Embroidery Depot on Etsy. I am not an affiliate… It’s a good design because it has two colors. I like to embroider the CTR shield without the background color fill. It creates a nice effect on my personalized baptism towels. It comes in both a 2”x2” and 3”x3” size. The best part is that The Embroidery Depot allows you to sell the items you make with this embroidery design, so you can make as many CTR baptism towels as you want and sell them.
If you have an embroidery machine, you can make personalized baptism towels, too. It might seem intimidating, but with the right stabilizer, you can do it successfully. You can even make these CTR baptism towels with a 4”x4” embroidery machine — I made a few with my Brother SE400. However, I must admit that it was easier to make personalized baptism towels after I upgraded to the 6”x10” Bernette b79 embroidery machine.
The most important thing to remember when embroidering on towels is that you need to use a water-soluble stabilizer as a topper. It prevents your stitches from sinking into the plush pile of a terry cloth towel. You also need to “float” your towel on your embroidery hoop because it is too hard to hoop a thick towel. I do this with some standard tear-away stabilizer and a basting spray.
If you’re interested, I’ve written an entire post on how to make custom embroidered towels with an embroidery machine. I walk you through eight tips to help you do it successfully. Embroidering towels is something you can do! Personalized baptism towels are always a hit.
