Would these be appropriate for embroidery hand or machine work?

Not for hand embroidery. Machine embroidery may be okay for small jobs, not enough thread for larger jobs.

Hi Dolly. I think these towels would be ideal for embroidery. They are very similar to the type of towels my grandma embroideried on years ago. They washed up nicely and work well. Hope this helps! Shawn

If your embroidery machine has a pcmcia slot then yes. I recommend checking the manual of the machine.

They are good for most bracelets and such. I think these are second best only to the original Rainbow Loom Bands. I recommend them. I don't think any of these types if bands would stretch that big.

Yes, you can use them for both types of sewing. I can only speak about embroidery machine needles in general - they are said to have a larger eye than other needles and a longer/larger thread channel along the needle so there are fewer snags/thread breakages. A brother dealer told me the regular Organ needles have a larger needle eye than other standard sewing machine needles. That is one of the reasons Brother uses this brand of needles to calibrate their machines and recommends them for sewing. They are great needles.

These are cotton terry towels - not the flour sack type. (When I ordered them, I didn't realize that either). So, I don't think this is what you need for embroidery purposes.

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!

Yes, they are perfect for that. The pad is very hard so the finger rolls on it nicely. You might have to stamp it twice since the first time around, you might have too much ink on. Test it first. Also, it does stain everything, but does come off the finger after couple/few/dozen of washes. :)

No not at all. I have used these frames on pieced quilts, appliqued quilts, embroidered quilts, and even on needlework. They will not harm the surface of your work. I have these frames in all sizes so I can work on up to a king sized quilt. To me they are the best. I have used them for years. LOVE them.

I don't machine but they are good for everything else so I would think they would do just as good for quilting . I only hand quilt since I was 9 when I started quilting and no one quilted by machine back then I am 74 now and my grans,greatgrans,and my greatgreatgran loves my quilt as well as my children and their spouses

These are very nice tea towels. They are good for embroidery projects. They are too pretty and I wouldn't use it for every. Day kitchen clean up

yes I would say so. I used to do wire wrapping for electronics and these would certainly work there. i'm sure they will do well on jewelry as well.

Yes they will! I've put them on my machine and my aunt's Brother Sewing Machine and work just fine. I hope you will buy the Thread and Bobbin Kit because you won't be sorry!

Don't know but I would think so. I use them when Im on the computer and when I do a little sewing.

Hello Karen, I purchased white ones and I think they'd work well for embroidery. The weight of the fabric is substantial enough to support the embroidery. I'd wash them first though. Good luck!

You may be ok for grasping a steam iron, I wouldn't expect full dexterity in grasping thread, etc, but they are fairly tactile, although there is a seam toward the fingertip that may be problematic.

These towels are strong enough for machine embroidery with light stabilizer they should be good for hand embroidery also
