You are so welcome. That is what is great about AnnTheGran, people want to help! I wanted to add one more (among the many) thing. I live in southern California. The humidity here is usually in the 20% range, but today, it is raining, therefore, it is over 30%. While that may not seem like much, water...

Kathy is quite right. However, we need more information for this project. What is it doing? If it is puckering, that indeed is most likely a stabilizer. Did you do a discovery sew? (Test sew out?) Using a similar fabric, I would use a heavier cutaway stabilizer. Cutaway is standard for lettering (as...

You must have gotten a better needle than I did, it doesn't change the fact that for me it still gummed up pretty badly. It may be their claim to fame as you say, and to each their own, as with all aspects of sewing and embroidery, but for me it is an added expense that is not necessary. I can obtain...

Interesting questions, hmmm..... You could read my blog on stabilizers. I would recommend an adhesive/water soluble type which ATG does carry. Flag nylon of this type can be slipery and a strong stabilizer is a must. Thread is another matter. If you have ever seen the birds in your area building nests...

LaRue- We all felt that same way at one time or another! Overwhelmed, over informed and lacking in time! Your blog is really interesting and I know people are going to enjoy each and every one of them. Just a quick suggestion: At the top of your post in this forum there is a button called "Favorites...

rosarypark - What an interesting name! Please do check out my Blog which covers heavy weights and how to stabilize them. In addition to that information, I do suggest that you consider one of the ' soft ' stabilizers available here at ATG. It adds to the softness against baby's tender skin...

HH fellow ME'ers, I would LIKE to try to machine embroider on the lightest vinyl I could find. Have any of you tried it; and if so...how did it turn out and which stabilizer(s) did you use? THANKS Crash Course Cathy here P.S. I am thinking that I should use a SHARP POINTED needle, correct?

I can not stress enough the fact ALWAYS,ALWAYS ,ALWAYS do test sew outs for any type of fabric. It is the best way to tell what stabilizers you need for that particular item.Some may need two,three even more .I never do any embroidery without WSS on the top.It just makes every project come out nicer...

My goodness,I just realized you had two types of fabric you are using here.Silly me !I would say again for the cotton,what are you using for stabilizer's? Cotton is a very light weight fabric,so dense stitches are likely to pucker it. I just thought of something else as well,did you re-size the design...
