New Notions:
Retro Stripe Towels - Pkg of 3 - Great for embroidery for that "vintage" look

Ideal thread to remove basting stitches. Thread dissolves with water - Saw a recommendation that it was good to use when basting to make fringe on your embroidery machine - just remember to change your bobbin back to regular thread!
