....use one layer of stabilizer.So if the design has 20,000 stitches,use two layers.This, however does not mean that if the design has over 60,000 stitches you use six layers.That would make it too stiff.In this case just use common sense and play around with the design and stabilizer to get the best result.

Boy, are you quick!I was still thinking.

don't think it hurts
I have thick and thin stabilizer so this must make a diference what stabilizer do you use

by mpo14011 09 Jun 2008

Are you asking me to think about that one?OUCH!!!OK.This is where you can use your initiative.Obviously if use the thicker stabilizer you don't need as much.Stitch out the design and see how it looks.If it looks fine then you are on the right track.I used to use the thicker tear away and was very happy with it, but have not been able to get it so have been using the thinner one and that is fine too.I used 1 thin layers when I stitched out Kara and was not happy with the result.So rang the girl that sold me my digitizer and asked her what I did wrong and she told me if it looks good on the digitizer it should stitch out good.She told me this tip..So I tried 3 layers and Kara stitched out really well.This girl used to work as a Janome rep in our local shop before Janome did away with reps in each state.

thanks you make me think
now thats just danger danger
I hate the thin stuff I meet a lady that uses coffee filters

by mpo14011 09 Jun 2008

NOT THAT THIN!The thinner stuff is about the thickness of a normal A4 sheet of paper you use in your printer.
