Has any of you embroider on synthetic suede? Will the hoop burn the fabric? I am doing a pillow for my son's teacher as she is retiring but I just wonder whether I should hoop the fabric or not?

danie, you've got a couple of good answers, so I'll just say - have a fun day and hugs and a flower for you sweetie.

Yes, suede (synthetic or not) will tend to get hoop burn. I would recommend using sticky stabilizer or other adhesive technique to hoop your fabric.

I never have, but I would assume the hoop would leave marks behind. Probably use spray adhesive to put suede on top of previously hooped stabilizer. Do a test run on very edge if no one else answers. *4U
