Please help. Is there a trick to embroidering on sweaters? Mine keep getting eaten. What am I doing wrong?

here's the link to EmbLibrary's article on embroidering on sweaters. I don't know that I would hoop the sweater as outlined in the article, but definitely use cut-away stabilizer and a topper.

Embroidery Library has instructions in "Projects" for many fabrics. So far you got pretty good ideas.

Not sure for sure - but it might be that you haven't stablized it correctly - you will need a heavy stablizer in the bottom and you might need several layers of WSS Topping, too.

I do it this way also lol hugs

Personally, I would say it needs a cutaway stablizer on the back and a wash away stabilizer on top so the stitches don't get buried in the knit.
