I have ventured into the 3-d images. I keep having a problem with birdsnests. My tensions are adjusted accordingly for the project, and it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

I may have answered my own question. I am working on structured caps. Backing doesn't seem to make a difference. I backed off my tension ALOT. Everything seems to be running smooth. Experiment 3 continues results. Thanks everyone. Still accepting any tips.

Do you mean the things like free standing lace, or embroidery on organza, things like butterflies, dragonflies, etc? I have looked at those and wondered how they'd turn out. Maybe not so good, huh? I hope someone here has an answer for you, because I'd like to know, too. And a bit "Cute" welcome to you, Pinebeach, thanks for asking!! Marji

Sorry for your problem, I don't have an answer for you. With all the talent here I am sure someone will know how to help. I want an answer to this to, so I will be watching this closely. I can give you H.*.
