  • Hooping and Hoopless Embroidery 6/6/08

    Hooping 101 Initially, I thought I might be able to discuss hooping in a single blog. After discussion with others and considering what hooping entails, hooping will be a series. I hope to share my experiences and what I have learned from some very accomplished ME people. Your thoughts and input is also...

  • Re: Stitch Density and Fabrics

    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.

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...
