Tea Towel FAQs
▶ I just received my Tea Towel. Why is it not that absorbent?
The printing process initially compresses the fabric fibers. After you wash and dry your Tea Towel, the fibers will relax to their normal structure and the towel will soften. Over time, repeated washings will create even more room for absorbing water.
▶ Why do some Tea Towel designs appear off-center?
While almost any design in our design library can be ordered as a Tea Towel, only certain designs have been properly formatted and uploaded by artists to print as Tea Towels. The product rendering offers a good representation of how the design will print, so if it seems off-center on the site, you can expect it will arrive with a similar construction. If the artwork was not uploaded to be a tea towel initially, smaller designs with repeating patterns work better.
▶ How do you know if a Tea Towel design is properly formatted?
If you like how the design looks in the Tea Towel image, you can be confident that is how it will arrive. If the designs seems off-center in that image, or if something else doesn't seem right, it is always better to confirm details before ordering. The article Design Customization shares how to locate and contact an artist directly, or you can reach out to Spoonflower customer service.
▶ Can I design my own Tea Towel for Spoonflower to sew?
Yes! Uploading your own design for Spoonflower to construct into a Tea Towel is one of the most popular projects on our site. Review How To Design A Recipe Tea Towel to get started, or search our Blog for various tutorials. How to Turn Handwritten Recipes into Tea Towels is a stalwart.
▶ I saved my Tea Towel design with a "center" repeat but it looks wrong. What am I doing wrong?
Any designs saved with a Center repeat cannot printed and sold as Home Decor product. To be certain your Tea Towel is sewn correctly, the design you upload must measure 27" x 18" at 150 DPI, and be saved with a Basic Repeat. See How To Design A Recipe Tea Towel for all the details.
