"Farm Girl" Typewriter Lettering Stitching Tutorial

Welcome to the Farm Girl Dishtowel Lettering tutorial.
This post will give you hints for stitching American Type
style lettering. 

You may have the Farm Girl Dishtowel kit or pattern. If not, this pattern and/or kit is available to purchase from the "Embroidered Toweling"  Category on this site.
Before beginning,
Pre-wash your towel following manufacturers instructions.
I used the cool setting on my washer. 
Trace design onto your washed and pressed dishtowel. Find detailed tracing instructions on FAQ's page of this website.
                                                                   I used 2 strands of black floss and backstitch for the letters.

I have started my letters in this photo. You can see my tracing for a single row column and a double row column. The F is finished with a double row main column. The base's of all vertical and horizontal columns are finished. 
Note how each column does not necessarily have a base going in
each direction. For example, the top of the F only has a base going towards the left. The top horizontal column of the F only has the base pointing downward.

​Here is my little diagonal stitch. Ready to bring my needle up and over the diagonal stitch to make the bend for a classic American Typewrites base look.









​




I have brought the needle up and over the diagonal stitch. 

Insert and pull gently into a slight curve towards the base.
Classic column achieved!
Repeat for the other side of this column.








​


An example of double lined column. Same technique.
I stitch both rows first.

Have you noticed where I missed tracing the diagonal lines on the A? I am a quick tracer! In fact, I think I tried very hard to make this one complete for the photo's. I
 do not trace everything every time. When I get to the A, I will remember it needs a column when I glance at my design page.
If I wasn't tracing for photo's, I might not have made any diagonal lines.
Hope you have wonderful days ahead stitching!
