  • Re: Puckering on Embroidered towel!

    To hoop or not to hoop, that is the question!! Did you get a chance to read my Hoop Blog ? The books are right, hoop when possible. I have gotten out of the habit of hooping. When I don't hoop, I use the 'frames' which are on most machines. I encircle my design with a simple square or circle...

  • Re: Getting Designs to match up

    Interesting name - flying M creations! We all run into different issues from time to time. And this one is interesting. I think a photo of your problem would help to determine what the issue might be. If I understand you correctly, the design does not sew correctly and has gaps. Sweatshirts generally...

  • Re: Trouble with design stitching out right

    Hi Margie - You also have a question on basting and I did make a suggestion for you at that forum thread. I suspect you need more understanding of stabilizers. That is one of my Blogs too. If you check for "The Avid Embroiderer" you will see "archives" and I did the stabilizer one...

  • I PREDICT - - -

    I predict that there will be a really great Blog from The Avid Embroiderer on Hooping around Friday or Saturday, June 6 or 7, 2008. 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...

  • Re: Stitch Density and Fabrics

    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...
