    No matter which type of font your lettering will be in, the bigger the lettering, the better it will look on the finished product, your machine-embroidered towels. Bigger lettering looks clearer because towels are not exactly an easy canvas for clarity. For something such as initials, lettering should be 2 to 4 inches high.

    On the Other: Fitting Everything In.

    Of course, you will need to keep your lettering small enough to fit on your towel correctly. Longer words, names and phrases will look tacky if stretched across more than one line, for instance. Generally, lettering that is less than 2 inches high looks best for words or phrases.

    Bottom Line

    If clarity is the most important thing to you, it's best to keep the length of your embroidered words short and the size large. Things such as initials look best larger than 2 inches tall. If you prefer to keep things elegant and understated, longer words are acceptable if the lettering is small and precise, meaning letters should be less than 2 inches tall.
