What a really cute idea! Something I would have never thought of, but they are really nice.

Yes, they are easy too! The hardest part is not ripping the TP.

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.

OK, you two -- I have a question. Where is the tp at in reference to your machine while you're embroidering? Can't quite get it pictured in my little brain. :roll:

Thanks! :D

Just mark it off as me being old :lol: :lol: I guess it doesn't really matter HOW you position the tp as long as your design is oriented to which way you have the paper.....duh! :lol: :lol: :lol:
