on it and then the scrubbie mesh followed by wws on top. It stitched the outline fine. It jumped when I went to stitch the eyes. It jumped about a half of an inch. So it threw everything off after that. I was able to remove it from hoop and put another piece of wss on top and I manually zig zagged around
it. On the back the stablizer had torn and I think it may have got caught on the feet dogs. My question Should I have usedanother type of stablizer under the wash cloth? Any advice will be appreciated. Maureen

Carolyn, Thanks I have made a few of these and had no problems. I think it was the tear away stab. It has torn on me before. I have the instructions from designsbysick.com. I'll try a heavy stab next time. Maureen
360660did you hoop the wash cloth? I use tear away on towels so I wouldn't think you couldn't on a wash cloth. I pin my towels.
hope next comes out better, glad you were able to save this one.

Thanks, I have made them before with no problems. I didn't hoop the wash cloth. I used Sulky KK2000 to adhere it to the cloth and pinned the net and wss on top.
17461I think I am answering you a blit blind because I am not sure what a 'scrubbie' is. Is it made of towelling? If so then I put the plastic stabiliser only on the top of the towelling Works very well for me!! If I am totally off the beaten track then I am sorry :) LOL

You make a scrubbie on a wash cloth out of nylon mesh. You use maybe 8 layers of the net. I was using a heavy duty one and used 6 layers. You have to use a stablizer on the botton for the wash cloth
to be placed on first and then the net and wss. You use this for scrubbing plates and pots and pans in the kitchen.
You must try making one. Place the design in one corner. Maureen
