    Donna may have done her's differently, but this is how I made mine.

    Hoop your stabilizer, unroll 3 sheets of TP and fold back. spray adhesive onto the stabilizer and place your TP on the center of the hoop.

    I lay a piece of white tuell on top and stitch my design. Then when finished, I trim the tuell and re roll the TP and dab a bit of a glue stick to secure, then wrap in tuell with a ribbon.

    Donna, is this how you do yours??

    almost, i hoop the cutaway stabilizer, slip piece of tearaway stabilizer under the hoop for extra stability, unroll 3 sheets of tp and fold back like you do, but i didn't spray with adhesive i just held it in middle till it started and it stayed. and instead of using a piece of tulle on top, i used a piece of that water soluble clear stabilizer, but didn't wet it when done, just tore it off. it just pops right off easily. then re-rolled and used spray adhesive to stick it back (anything would do, even double sided scotch tape). then wrapped and tied.
