9578Keep ANY tiny scraps of water soluable stabilizer (wss). Mix 1 part WSS and 5 parts water in a spray bottle. Great instead of starch! Use to hold FSL (free standing lace) in a certain position once done stitching.

how many times have I started to sew and then wished I had checked the bobb.in
6187Keep your water soluable stabilizer (wss) in a moisture proof tube with a snap shut lid or a plastic baggy that will not allow moisture in.

158716Yes remember to change your embroidery needle out for a new one often to keep getting excellent results with your embroidery. I've been embroidering designs today with 35& 40000 sstitches every 2 designs or every 2 hrs I used a new needle. If I didn't the design wasn't looking as smooth an even as it should.
