Well, I just did. I plan my work, at least that is what I try to do, and attempt to think ahead. I had an order for Susan Mars' lovely napkins . They are 21" by 21" and absolutely beautiful, so chic for a holiday dinner. I was making the design for the 6 that were ordered and was using...

deb-being unlucky with sticky stabilizers and/or adhesives can be challenging. I can imagine the frustration. One thing that I have suspected for some time is that the various parts for ME may just be affected by humidity. I feel like sticky stabilizer just might be one of them. When I get some debris...

Shawn - You have a really great machine and I hope you will keep working toward the results you desire. I was at a class on Monday with a embroidery machine master technician who owns two embroidery shops here in San Diego. Mike has over 30 years of sewing/embroidery machine workings, repair and products...

Hi, Shawn. Do a few samples on terry or fleece using a topper of WSS. I think you will see a big difference. Pattiann PS: Here is a great tutorial - http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/elprojects/holder.aspx?page=PR1256

Most of you know that I am a fan of Badgemaster Stabilizer. My blog on it describes everything I liked about it and I still have not found any drawbacks to it. The other day I was picking through my scraps of stabilizers for a piece to float under a design. All the Badgemaster scraps were soft and pliable...

Joan is right on the mark! Badgemaster, which is a really heavy duty, commercial size water soluble stabilizer (wss) available here at ATG. If you read my Blog you will find that it is actually a very good value. On the 3D angels, I did have to use double wss but Badgemaster uses only on, there is savings...

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...
