Therefore I ended my trim to end in the front.<\/p>\n<p>I also chose to position the trim so that the towel could be folded into thirds without folding the rosettes. \u00a0Depending on the embellishment, you should find the placement and length of trim that works best for your use.<\/p>\n<p>Cut the trim to fit your needs.<a

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Position the trim on the tea towel and secure with straight pins all the way across the width of the towel. \u00a0I chose to position my trim above the hemstitch detail on the hand towel. \u00a0You can place your trim as close to the hemmed edge as you like, but it looks best to leave about 2 inches of towel below the trim.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll want to turn under the ribbon ends and pin them under also. \u00a0This will make sure that there are no loose edges. \u00a0The trim I used had a mesh backing that was almost invisible on the towel, but it still makes for a more finished look to turn under the edges so that no\u00a0raw cut edges are exposed.<\/p>\n<p><a

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pin the trim all the way across the width of the towel making sure to keep the trim at the same distance from the hemmed edge of the towel. \u00a0This was easy to do with the hemstitched towel we used. \u00a0If you don&#8217;t have a built-in guide like our hemstitch detail, you might want to mark a distance across the width of the towel to keep your trim straight. \u00a0You can mark that with straight pins or a disappearing ink pen, if that helps.<\/p>\n<p><a
