Nursie, There is a knit stabilizer that is made for sewing knit fabrics. It comes in black and white. It is sold by the yard in the stabilizer section at JoAnns or other general fabric stores. It makes a great stabilizer for fleece as it is also a knit. I have a tendency to dribble on the fronts of my knit blouses and
Ts. Rather than throw or give them away I often embroidery something over the stain. That soft knit stabilizer also feels good against my skin. You also need to use the washaway stabilizer on the top of fleece. Good luck. |
I found these for free at the sewform.com site in 4x4 and 5x7...I know Embroiderygarden.com has them also in bigger sizes...they work really good if you don't want to hoop

What a great thread. I want to try embroidery on a quilt this year and you have already answered a lot of my questions.

Sorry I haven't been back on here but have been busy and today I had to work. I used some pelon on the back of my fabric and I finally got a design emboidered on some material. I also figured out how to get the one design off and another one on. Thank you all so much for the help. I really did enjoy doing the design last night. Wanted to do another one tonight but I am just to tired to do it so will wait until I am not so tired maybe and it will do better for me.
Hope you all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR. Thanks again. fatcat |
Fatcat - It is addicting isn't it? The possibilities are endless! I really wasn't sure I would use the embroidery module much, but wanted it for the quilting pattern capabilities....lol....haven't even tried that yet, but have been embroidering on everything I can lay my hands on! Now am trying to figure out how i can incorporate it into quilt blocks.
Enjoy yourself! |
