I have used the interfacing, when I embroidery for the young ones in my family. I buy picture fames at the Dollar Store then I embroidery an animal they like with their name, then frame them .

Another great material for doing this type of thing is felt. You can get it for cheap, and almost everything stitches out beautifully on felt. Being non-woven and not a knit, it doesn't stretch, and yet it is thick enough that it isn't "see through" like just stabilizer or interfacing can be.

Thank you cutiepie, I never thought of felt for my projects. Hugs and flower.

I must try just using the stabiliser, sounds like a good idea, I'm guessing tearaway is out of the question though, it would have to be permanent. Hugs and a flower for you dlmds.
