Katy-Emb on TP is just a novelty. Something unusual and can be added to a gift. I buy inexpensive baskets add emb. hand towels, matching emb. TP roll with a pretty ribbon around it, nice soap and a candle. Make a very nice shower or house warming gift.

Is it a special thing to give a roll of embroidered TP to someone or a real labor of love. Maybe too much time on ones hands!!

Okay lbrow.... My turn. When doing dense designs hoop stabilizer, fold over 3-4 sheets of TP and float a piece of stabilizer in the middle of the sheets. You can also use a piece of white felt. Works for me every time. Good luck.

I use medium cutaway stabilizer, 75/11 needle, Solvy layer on the top, tension 3.6-3.8. Also, I have used a combination of rayon and/or polyester thread. I have not had any problems with this combination. I hope that you get everything worked out because they are fun to make, and people are in awe of how you could do such a thing! *4U

I use Cottonelle TP, but I doubt that it matters what kind you use. I got my direction from Stitches in Motion when I bought some patterns.
