Continuing from last week's first technique to make a Kitchen Towel Boa, here is the second method I found. It's a faster method once you get used to "blind" stitching by not being able to see how the stitching on the back side is going. It took a couple of tries for me. Good luck.

Tuesday Tutorial
******************
First cut the towel and fashion fabric like technique 1.
Fold, press and stitch about 1 inch of each end of fashion fabric.
Stitch long seam from end to end.
No need to leave middle opening.
Press, to mark center opposite of seam,
like technique 1.
right side out.
about 1 inch inside the opening.
Match the center and sides the best possible.
As you pin,
be sure to catch the back side
at the same 1 inch mark.
Don't try to top stitch along edge,
but rather about a quarter inch in,
because it's hard to work out the same on the back side.
Instead of using pins
which moved the fabric too much
through so many layers,
pressed glue works great to
hold long enough to stitch.
Be sure to press the glue
to dry it,
so not to get glue on
machine needle
or down into machine.
If the school glue is dry,
everything works ok.
the Kitchen Towel Boa
is DONE!
Don't have to stitch up an opening in middle.
Which one did you like better?
