When embroidering on a T shirt, you add a fabric below? My son said that "it scratch" against his skin ... ;o)

Sissi, where do you buy this viesline thermoadhesive, it seems to me very clever

je l'ai acheté dans un magasin Mondial tissu :o)

I use cover the back on things worn next to the skin because the emb will scratch. *

MM when you put the t-shirt on does the vlieseline streach with the shirt or will it come off after awhile?*

Great question, Sylvie, thanks!!! In the USA, we have lots of options, Cloud Cover, Cover the Back, etc. iron-on's that last thru washings, not meant as stabilizers, but meant to cover those stitches that may scratch. Glad you found your solution!! Hugs, Marji

hahaha marji! You don't want her to use as a stablizer like I did last week. Great reminder. :)

I use Cover the Back. It is the same fabric that you see in ready made clothing and is very soft even for infants. Bonus: when you put it on the back, you don't have to worry about loose stitches or the tails of thread being too long. It just glues them right down.;)

I am sitting here just reading mail this morning and learning more than I was aware that I did not know in the first place. It is so much fun to be here and learn all this new stuff! Of course it makes me feel just a bit inferior since I have been sewing for so long. Of course I am self taught. I went to one class on the singer and I never went back. It was on multi hooping and it did not sink in. The class was so large and no 1 on 1 teaching so I left with a book and a sample that I did but did not know what I did 15 minutes after I left the place. I do not use the Singer now unless I just have to have a design that is on the memory card for the Singer. I have 2 different Baby Locks and they are so much easier to use. I wanted to sell the Singer but for some reason, my son did not want me to. I guess he wants it. He knows how to use all of them but he would not when he was home. Maybe he thinks he can teach his wife to use it. NOT... she can't use a reg. sewing machine. They would get a divorce if he started trying to teach her to use the Singer! I'm packing it up right now and out the door with it!!! hee hee not really! She is a wonderful person although I lost my son when they got married. I never see him anymore and he works just 5 miles from my house. Maybe I will rethink this Singer thing. Aint I awful???? Linda

But of course !!!! I had not thought, I'll put what we call here the "vlieseline". is a thermo-adhesive support that is resistant to washing ! Thanks !!!*

I use the softest knit vlieseline there is, ironed on after the design is finished. Did that on baby onesies and no scratching at all.

You can get a product tender touch I think it is called in the states, and Designs by Sick sells 'Cover the Back' - which you iron on after embroidering. I've been looking for a while trying to work out what exactly it is! I did find a soft iron on interfacing in a local fabric store that is similar to those products. It is very soft knit and when ironed on is permanent. (after having ordered some from SiCK in the states!)

I use a very lightweight iron on interfacing to cover up the design, cutting it a bit larger and rounding the corners. You find this on some ready made bought items.

Sylvie, most stablizer's that you would use for a T-shirt - would be soft enough - however - all of them get softer with each washing - you can purchase a backing to be attached after the design is stitched on - or you can apply fabric - with a square or oval behind your design - just before you take it off the hoop or afterwords - if you prefer. *4U Please update us and let us know - how you solved this for your son's sensitive skin. *4U
