  • 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: New at Flannel Blanket - Need Help

    Pattiann's information is good but it does have some limitations. For instance, it does not address the weight of the material which is a major consideration for stabilizers.

  • 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...
