Great question. I would have wanted to save a little stabilizer also.
I think that is a good idea to try, it may work and it may not, but it is always good to try doing different things. For all kind of videos and tutorials go to emblibrary.com.Good Luck.***
Thank you Maria. I'm might just give it a try and if it doesn't work at least I will know and make it the other way. Thanks for the suggestion and website.
You will need the stabilizer because the first stitching is the placement stitiching so you know exactly where you have to place the felt.
