Is it hard to do FSL .are there any thing special you need to do. Thanks ahead for any advice

bunnyoane u have excelloent answers here, Same thread top & bottom 1 or 2 layers of WSS(your choice) Be very careful u can become addicted to FSL very quickly LOL *

I just tried doing FSL about two weeks ago, and now I'm addicted!! I use one layer of Vilene, and have great luck! I hope you have the same initial result that I did, because you're gonna love it!

You will love it. Just use a wash away stablizer and hoop well. I most often use Solvy heavy weight and only one layer. I also slow my machine down but I usually do for most designs. Other types may require the 2 layers. Just recently I tried Vilene WSS(water soluble stablizer). It looks like fabric stablizer. I used two layers of that and it also worked very well. I believe a lot of folks on here use it.

What are you having trouble with and what design? I do a LOT of FSL and I use two layers of wash away. I make sure it is tight in the hoop.I slowed my stitches down from 1000spm to 600spm. I don't have any trouble at all. Let me know what you are having trouble with and I'll try to help. I love FSL.

Always use two layers of wash away - that is the only way FSL project will come out beautifull. Remember to use same colour thread top and bottom. Carin

on my Janome 10000 I use 'SET' button on display panel of machine, then EMBROIDERY - you may have to page over until you find Maximum Speed Setting then minus or plus- remember to hit REGISTER' button - hope this helps if not back to the instruction book as my model is not the same as yours good luck from minicow
