132773Goodness I feel like duh... Someone taught me this trick with hair clips. This clamps ones if your babies hair is to thin you slide a smal piece of the non skid foam for kitchen shelves it holds onto the little girls hair!

5822132773Hi. First of all I want to say thank you for your patterns. Using the mesh does it help your fabric from slipping?

Welcome to "cute"
Hope you enjoy stitching some of them. Yes the mesh helps to keep the fabric firm in the hoop. Hugs Yvonne

13907Sorry Here is the link to the K-Lace website with the pictures of the Shelf liner Strips on the hoop to hold fabric and stabilizers tight in the hoop.

7969I use something similar for embroidery.
I use strips of Kitchen Shelf Liner and adhere them to the bottom of my inner hoops with Wonder Tape which is a double sided, water soluble tape.
The Shelf Liner Strip come up between the 2 hoops along with the excess water soluble stabilizer or fabric and stabilizer and hold everything taut in the hoop.
This is especially good for FSLace embroidery as the it holds the water soluble stabilizer tight and it dosen't slip while I embroidery.
I leave the shelf liner on my hoops for all my embroidery.
Here is a link to Criswell K-Lace website showing how to put the Shelf liner and tape on the bottom of the inner hoop. You can click on each picture on the web page and see a close up look of each.
Here is the page.

This works great as I don't have to hoop anything extra with my stabilizers and fabrics.

29648Thank you! I never would have thought of it by myself. All Cuties are sooooo smart!
7568I have a doubt, if I often use this mesh, my hoop has problems to grip a regular fabric with a normal stabilizer .The mesh has an abnormal thickness I think... Adriana

119790Isn't it miracilous how we each come up with our own 'ways' to get things done!! I have a small piece of material that I use only at the bottom where the frame screws closed, I read once that to make a full square defeates the purpose of the corners getting tight, OR only on the sides and sometimes the bottom is enoug.
Thanks for sharing!!

Pleasure, yes it is amazing how we invent things to make it work better - Hugs Yvonne
45070Yvonne, you should post this hint in General so that more people can see it.
How do you attach the fabric/wss to the mesh?

Meganne, you place your fabric onto the bottom part of your hoop, like always, then you put your Mesh down and then put your top hoop on and pull the fabric and mesh together and tighten . Hugs Yvonne
122864Thought I would bring this to the top, for Monique and the other new Cuties -hugs Yvonne
