I am looking to do some stamping with acrylic paint to personalize the towels. Do you think the quality of the towels will hold up?

The towels will hol area.d up to the stamping, but that can make it rough for use around the face area.

No, these towels are terrible. I don't think they will hold up for painting or stamping.

They may bleed a bit during the stamping, but as a disposable towel they should dry ok once. It all depends on how much of the towel you intend to stamp. If it's the whole section that would seem to me to negate the usefulness of the towel. If it's a tiny corner it shouldn't affect the usefulness, but again, it might bleed a bit. I haven't tried so I don't know. I personalized the holder and left the towels as they were.

I pre-washed mine before I embroidered them, although they are already pre-washed. They are a bit wrinkled, but I didn't see it as an issue. If you want them smooth, you would need to press them. I'm very happy with the quality and will continue to purchase only these towels for my needlepoint.

These towels are heavy enough and do not stretch or shrink. They should work well. The fabric is stiff and remains stiff after many washings.

Very easy - they're made of durable acrylic so as long as you're not using something noteworthy for its harshness, you'll be fine. Anything like vinegar/water (or any of the "green" cleaners, hand soap, GlassPlus/Windex, etc will be fine! In fact, unless something is very messy, just a paper towel will probably work in most situations! Enjoy!

Hi, Dolly! The commercial grade Flour Sack Tea Towels that I purchased are really great! I machine embroidered some with vintage designs that were stitches similar to hand embroidery, so would recommend them for your project. Happy Creating, Dolly!

These are very SMALL quantities to use on walls, so I assume you're doing small designs? I don't see why they wouldn't be just fine--they are acrylic and would behave as they do on paper or any other object being decorated. I do not have a value for how long they would last, but keeping designs out of direct sunlight should help--and away from tiny hands too!.............m

I bought them for my daughter to embroider on. I gave them to her and I don't really remember. But I can tell you they were of great quality the ones I got and more like linen towels. And big enough I think to cut in half and make two towels. They might be just a little skinny. I plan to buy more of them for her. In trade she is going to embroider some for me. Hope this helps you.

They are quite glossy, so you would most likely have smearing with stamp ink. Try a matte version.

Yes. I run them in the delicate cycle. I love these towels. They're super light weight and although they feel really wet after drying yourself off, they dry out really fast when you hang them.

I've washed mine over 10 times and they are still in very nice condition. They are thick, soft and absorbent. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of these towels for the price. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Yes, I have washed them with my other whites and have used Clorox bleach on them :) So far they are holding up well for inexpensive towels. The only draw back is that they are thin but, in truth, I am comparing them to thicker Turkish white towels I purchased from Lands End :) otherwise, these are great for the price!

I've used Clorox on them to brighten them up a few months ago. Still my favorite towels.

so far I have not been able to stamp anything! I am not sure if I need more strength or different stamps. I bought them to stamp old silverware & then use them as plant stakes.

Oh yes, in fact this is my favorite type of paper to use with acrylics. I did need to let the paint dry and then place heavy books on the cards to train them flat, otherwise you'll get some curling. But these are good quality and can handle any paint.

I use them for mixed media and art journaling. They are pigmented and I doubt if they would come completely out if you get them on clothes and try to wash it. Go to the Faber Castell site and they should have a contact us option and ask your question. It will depend on what you want them to be washed from like hands, clothes and etc.
