  • Hoop Impression or Burn

    Occasionally you may be working with a dense or very sheer fabric and experience what is called hoop burn. Sometimes it is just an impression left on the fabric, but some of them can be a real burn. As previously noted, you can get the fantastic (IMHO) Snap-Hoop which you can read about in my blog about...

  • The Center of Attention

    Over time, I have enjoyed doing my embroidery a great deal. Even when I was frustrated in the beginning (not necessarily limited to the beginning) when everything looked like a snarled mess, I just never wanted to give up. I listened to what the dealer's salespersons had to say. (Frankly, she had...

  • 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. By using the...

  • I PREDICT - - -

I also predict that there already is a really fun Blog from The Adventures of Crash Coarse Cathy and can be viewed at: http://www.annthegran.com/cs/blogs/crash-course-cathy...

    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...

  • Re: Stitch Density and Fabrics

    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...

  • Re: Stitch Density and Fabrics

    Well, I guess my first question ,is what are you using for stabilizers? Are you hooping it or are you going outside the hoop? 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...
