someone has had some experience with this! Tks!

I got a mess of baby bibs at the dollar store for $1 (duh) and they had plastic/rubber backing. I hooped em with stablizer behind and washaway on top, and it worked great. I did one without anything on the back but the stitching cut thru the rubber backing, and the wss on the front kept the tiny loops from poking thru. Good luck

I have done this with a havy plastic back but not rubber. You've gotten good advice. I always float stabalizer behind something like this rather than hoop, it keeps it from hanging or dragging *4U

Haven't done this but wanted to give you a flower

If it drags on your machine bed, just float a tear away underneath. As raels said, hooping stabilizer not necessary. I select my needle size this way....First I try the standard 75/11 SHARP then start going up in size if needed. The way I can tell is to hold it in my hand and pierce the project. If it goes through easily (and in some cases, doesn't leave a hole) then that is the needle I use. ;)

Floating the stablizer underneath sound like a good idea so it doesn't drag. Thanks jrob.

Good question, thank you, and thanks for the answer raels, I've learned something new. Flower for both of you.
