I am unfamiliar with what you are talking about, but have you tried "Google?" It must be an interesting fabric if you are reminded of your sister. .. . Pat, The Avid Embroiderer

What a great idea! I don't have a lot, but certainly, they get messed up all the time. Pat, The Avid Embroiderer

You may also want to review this post. I know that flannel and fleece are not the same, but they have similar components. It never hurts to see what others are doing. Pat, The Avid Embroiderer

Marlene - excellent observation! What software are you using? Is it on your machine or available to purchase? I have had the same problems with EL designs. It is one reason why Ann's designs say "professionally digitized." That does not mean that EL designs are not professional, but even...

If it were me I would use a sticky on the hoop,then an iron on,light tack tear away on the back of the sweatshirt.Then lay it on the sticky,and embroider it out side the hoop...
