What the Stabilizer Sellers Won't Tell You

With that title line, I am thinking that there are hundreds and hundreds of things they won't tell you, but I will zoom in on a few of my personal favorites, in no particular order: Those prices - unbelievably, are way overpriced.

Re: Sharp Machine Needles vrs Embroidery Needles

This is really beautiful. I am including your photo here. You touched on several important points - Make sure you know how many stitches you are putting into a given area. Adjusting the stabilizer to accommodate those stitches is such a good idea. Puckering is avoided and that is a common problem. This...

Mom was right, the devil is in the details and he has had a devilishly good time with embroidery - - - Just like any computer aided process, out thinking the required steps can be very challenging indeed.

Chinoiserie (shēnˌwäz-rēˈ)

This is one of those words that looks familiar but we are never quite sure if we know it or not! How interesting it is - - - a Chinese pattern with a French name. Somehow I miss the connection but I did not miss the beauty in this decor. chi·noi·se·rie noun 1. A style in art reflecting...
