Short answer: Christmas tea towels are fast, popular gifts. Place a 5×7 design about 3 to 4 inches above the bottom hem, use tearaway on flour sack towels and add a water-soluble topping on waffle or terry towels.
Placement Guide
| Towel | Design size | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Flour sack | 5×7 or 6×10 | 3 to 4 in above hem |
| Waffle weave | 5×7 | 3 in above hem, with topping |
| Terry hand towel | 4×4 or 5×7 | On the woven band if there is one |
