Does anyone have tips on hemming tshirts? Seems that all mine turn out wavy or just plain unsightly.
I had bought some tearaway/washaway stabilizer a few years ago. I had used it in a project but it did not tearaway cleanly, so I didn't use it again. When I asked around about it, I found out that the paper did washaway but left fibers underneath the sti
Does anyone have experience with tearaway/washaway stabilizers? Do they tearaway cleanly? How do they wash away...do they dissolve in water? Do they disappear after one wash in a machine? Do they remain under the stitching and make pokies? Is the
I did this sweatshirt for the gal who runs the "Zoom Room." That's a place for dog training. I can rent a "gym" there to train my dog in dog agility. She's really a hard worker and does not have much money. I just wanted her to know that I appreciat
I've been thinking about making some adult bibs. I have a few patterns that are great, but it's the fabric that has me wondering. I like to use cotton or terry, but I don't think it would handle spills well. Yet, if I line it with something that would
Does anyone have any tips for keeping FSL flat when it dries? I don't know what causes it to curl to the embroidery thread and not the bobbin thread. I wouldn't think that poly would shrink. When I steam it flat with my iron, the threads look flatten in
I did this for the Valentine Challenge...but would do well in my doggie folder! Dog is a cute design and words werer done in my Embird program but the brown words are all the same color. Don't know why they look different in the photo.
I could swear that some stabilizers shrink, but then I think maybe it's something else that I do wrong. Do stabilizers shrink? I seem to have a shrinking problem with tearaways, but not the iron-on ones.
I had my gall bladder removed and ended up in the hospital for 5 days because of complications. I made a mug rug for the surgeon as he had to do a lot of cutting in there!
Does anyone have a website where they list the different weights of stabilizers by mfgs? I look at the stabilizers and I have no way of knowing just how thick they are. LIke is a heavy weight the same thickness no matter what brand?
Sometimes I like to make something two sided. However, when I use the embroidery thread in the bobbin, I end up with all kinds of problems...loops, thread nests, broken needles. Does anyone have some tips for me?
I just bought a Babylock Destiny2 yesterday. I bought a BlJourney 1 1/2 years ago. It was fine for a while, but then started pulling the bobbin thread up, or the top thread down, and thread nests galore. I took it to the shop 6 times since May, replaced t
I'm making my first tote...and I swear this project is jinxed. The worst thing I did was grab my rotary cutter instead of the marking pen. Anyhow, I want to put somethink in the bottom of the tote to make it firm. I was thinking cardboard, but that'll g
I want to try to do multiple hooping to make a quilt. It seem that when I do embroidery with batting in it, even with a cutaway stabilizer, the embroidery takes up space and shrinks the fabric a little. I'm concerned about getting the merged parts to lin
I've been doing some more mug rugs. Was a vendor at a conference (a cancer survivor one) last weekend and did some new ones so that people who attend this conference each year would have something new to buy. This is a Basketcase design! Thanks, Vicki! Y
