We draw our designs with a sharpie, edit them on photoshop and then we have a local business burn it onto a screen for us. All you need to start then is your screen, a squeegee, some fabric ink, tape and blank dish towels.
We lay out the blank dish towel on a large flat surface,
and lay the screen down where we want the image to be.
We put ink all over the screen and spread it around with the squeegee, flooding the design and then wiping off the ink with some pressure 4 times.
Then we hang the dish towel on a drying rack for 4 hours and put it in the dryer on medium heat for 30 minutes!
Then hang it on your oven and you're ready to go!

The cloth you used for the dish towels looks more like cloth used for a napkin. It doesn't look like you could use it to dry anything.
