These are Tea Towels I made out of linen. They measure about 18x27 before finishing the edges.  I then have finished size of 16 x 25.  I sew a hem stitch using my wing needle and using an appropriate decorative stitch.  Find the center of the towel and place the design where you would like.  I used the Jacobean Floral designs on these.  These are so nice and make wonderful gifts.
