Quick Kitchen Towels with my Accuquilt GO

 I thought you might like to see a quick project I did with my Accuquilt GO!  I made these 3 little kitchen towels for my son and daughter-in-law to use in their new kitchen.  I used the GO! Birds die (#55324).




I backed 3 pieces of fabric with Steam-a-Seam Light (you can use whatever fusible product you prefer).
Then, I cut a few of all 3 birds and wings from each of the 3 different fabrics. I mixed up the colors and laid them on the 3 towels- rearranging them until I was happy.  I followed the directions on the fusible paper to fuse the shapes to the towels.

Note:  The GO! instructions say that I should not put more than 6 layers of fabric through the machine at a time.  When the fabric is backed with fusible paper, it counts as 2 thicknesses, so I only put 3 layers at a time through the machine.  Never overload the GO!


I then used a blanket stitch on my sewing machine to go around all of the shapes.  I used a skinny satin stitch to make little legs and feet and a dot of an eye.

Voila!  A quick and fun gift!

Note that I used flat towels.  You can experiment with plush towels, but the fusible won't behave the same.
