Re: heavy weight water soluble stabilizer

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...

Re: Hooping A Store Bought Tote Bag

Joan-Excellent points. As usual, this forum has turned into a great discussion of factors for any ME issue. Not all questions and answers are black and white. The totes that I did were only 15" wide and 18" deep. However, they were a soft denim that was easy to manipulate. The design was a...
