Cotton waffle robes are more preferable than towels. It allows one to move around with much comfort without needing to towel off as its materials absorb water. They would be great as gifts and customizing them would surely make the receiver remember you everyday when they use it.


Cotton is the best material for these apparels as it has highly absorbent properties compared to other synthetic materials. Those which are thin dries more easily and would be a lot cheaper than the thick ones. The thick ones are much heavier but would help you dry faster as it absorbs water faster than thin ones. However, it does not dry quickly and it would cost much more than the former. This attire would be much better if mixed with synthetic materials for bathrooms that have caustic products.

There are different methods of printing. The most common of them are through embroidery and inking. Ink printing can be done with fabric markers and stencils or by silkscreen. The cheapest choice of doing is by hand embroidery. However, the other methods are really not that expensive. It is just because there are no other needed materials except a needle and thread for hand embroidery.

Those who have a little budget may buy an embroidery machine. They are best to use for personalizing clothing materials. Just be sure to test them on different materials before buying them to get a feel of how different models work. One may go through short courses where embroidery techniques are offered to make the best out of the machine.

Embroidering by hand is the best choice for those who wanted to personalize their apparels but do not want to spend anything. One should create an imprint first. This could be done on paper or by computer. Paper wax makes good stencils. With the aid of a craft knife, cut the design on the wax paper. This could be secure over the fabric.

A silkscreen unit would be affordable. Have one of them. They would be composed of a mesh, brayer, and paints. You would be dealing with paints which could not be erased so do some practice printing before doing it on the robes.

The most common areas to place the print would be at the middle or upper back, left side of the breast, or across a front pocket. However, with a little creativity, one may choose to put them in other places. The important thing is that the design should complement the area where you place them.

Cotton waffle robes can be great gifts. They are one of the best things to give as they are used often. Customizing them would be a fun activity and would add a more personal touch.
