Want to shrae what just came across my e-mail before I sign off for the night. - please see below. This may help some of the newer embroiderers and refresh some of us.

Thanks that goes in my tips and hints notebook.When somebody at work or in town I know and machine embroiderys, I give them a copy of some that they may use right away. Then latter if they want we get togather and go through book and check things out. Lots of fun to have a buddy to help and learn togather with.A beautiful spring flower and sweet dreams

Sounds good!!

Rule of Thumb #1 _ Cutaways provide better stability than tearaways.
Rule of Thumb #2 _ The more unstable the fabric, the heavier the backing should be.
Rule of Thumb #3 _ With light colored fabrics , the No Show Mesh is a must.
Rule of Thumb #4 _ To prevent scratching, use soft backing or use fusible backing on back side of embroidery.
Rule of Thumb #5 - Adhesive backed backings are a must for hard to hoop items.
