Stabilizer Advice
I'm doing machine embroidery for the first time to quilt a top. I have a Baby Lock Ellure machine. The manual does not say what stabilizer to use. I want to use a sticky stabilizer since it would be hard to hoop (too thick). Has anyone done this before and what kind of stabilizer did you use? TIA.

I agree. Sticky back would be a nightmare. I would a medium to heavy tear away or a WS. I only attempted this once and had a hard time keeping the quilt from weighing down the machine. I had much better luck doing individual blocks, then joining them after. I just hooped the backing then pinned on the batting and top. Having said this, there are lots of folks who successfully do this all the time. There's a thread on this forum devoted to ME you can check there for tips.
