In comment to you not hooping T-Shirts, sweatshirts or towels. I don't hoop towels, but my question is this - isn't it hard to get the garment in the correct spot if you wait until you have the hoop under the machine. I always use the table in my laundry room so I can lay things flat. I have...

Remove the bobbin and bobbin case and clean out any lint and thread snips. Re-thread the machine with the presser foot in the up position. Check the bobbin to be sure the thread is feeding from the bobbin in the right direction and though the proper guides. Hoop-less will not resolve the issue. Hoop...

Hi, Deb. I believe it is important to use brand names when it comes to needles and thread. I have used both Organ and Klasse as well as Schmetz. Titanium coated embroidery needles are advertised as lasting longer and better to use when adhesive is use to stabilize the item being embroidered. I use this...

So true, we don't ! I just know what works well. I won't recommend something that is not a quality product, as I too have bought inferior product that just does not do what they claim. These do! We are sewers just like you that have been "down the road" so to speak. (Gee, I just realized...

If you really want to be sure of perfect placement for your duster, I would first print out or draw around you chosen patterns,then cut them out and place them on your duster,keep arranging them until you get the pattern that you like the best ,now pin them in place. Nothing works as well as using this...

Mary, I would also double up on your fabric,cut 2 and serge them together or baste them together so they don't slide when embroidering. This is a very "heavy" design for this type of fabric. It looks very light weight. I got a hold of some fabric one time,that I thought was alright until...

Hi Mary, I also do a lot of quilting. Joan is right with the different weights with muslin. If you want to continue to use up what you have ,Joan suggested that you use water soluble stabilizer on top, that will help. But I think what you could do is maybe double the fabric,use a heavy stabilizer on...

Hi Jo, I always use the water soluable on top of any design,it helps lay the stitches on top of the fabric a bit more.there are many different weights of that as well,the one I use is the one at ATG .So far it is the best I have used,it is fairly economical,and it has never failed me yet. By using the...

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...
