I have the ironing beside my embroidery machine, other wise it would never get done.he he he.
11814I have the Badge Master (thought it was Sulky), it is the thick kind, and I love it. I use it on all of my fsl, bowls, bells, xmas ornaments and have never had a problem with it. It gets very stiff( but I donot rinse all of it out). If I need it to be any stiffer, I just melt some of the waste pieces in some water, getting it kinda thick, and dip the product in it and it really gets stiff then. Honestly, I never have any problem out of it.
11500Mary, the clear WSS(Solvy) is for towels, blankets,polar fleece or anything that has a pile, so it is not a waste. Use WSS vilene for FSL.
27382I also use the same technique as Yoriko, I bought some badge master over a year ago when i did not know better and I is indeed yucky but I you use a layer if it and one of the vilene or any of that kind it will make a difference.
34304Mary the best wss I have every used is Fabric Solvy by Sulky. It looks like fabric and I am able to use the larger hoop and do serveral different fsl designs in same hooping...so if doing crosses instead of one I may get 3 to 5 depending on the size of the design. Don't know if this helps but hope so.
20661Oh Mary - what a sad thing - I understand that you are just trying to use the kind that your DH bought - but you might have to put it aside and wait for the kind that you need - the drooping isn't a good thing - as that means that the middle was stretched out and not the sides - so sorry this has happened and that you are still having PC trouble, too.
211079I have some of that, I boughted myself, no one to blame, and it was so bad, could not do anything with, so I use it now for embroidery on towels, felt,etc.,
I still think that vylene is the best, there are others but I have not found them yet.The one that I always buy went from 5.00 to 5.50 a yard.You should be happy that your old men is interested in your craft and tries to help you!!!!!***
60484Oh honey, you're using the topper (for towels, etc.)... no, no, no... you need either the thick plastic (ultra solvy) or the mesh kind... I don't use the plastic after I had a design fall apart... only the mesh kind.

33575Actually Mary there is a clear thin (like Saran Wrap) and there is a THICK clear like V e r y heavy plastic. And you are absolutely correct, the thin is not for FSL.....I have 3 lbs of thread in a wad to prove it. I saved it for the last 4 years, just as a reminder.;)

158715It must be the light weight WSS. I use that on top of designs such as towels to hold the nap. I have the heavy weight solvy brand and it works fine. I used it for one I placed in the projects.
62461It will be a good WSS to have for doing towels,blankets and some clothing. Other than that I think the vilene is the best too. Have no idea what is wrong with your pc poor thing :(

20498Perhaps you could start a for sale section on Cute with this stuff as the starter, slowly building up to adding the husband? (only joking)
Missed your postings as I expect you are busy enjoying your new machine.
The FLS bug has not got me yet so cannot comment on the stuff. Happy sewing
115749Marymoore, to make most of the fabric type ones, I use one layer of fabric type and one layer of clear wss. The fabric type on the top. It does work wonderful for me. Hugs&*
