who would like a tip from Ricky.

Now that is a good tip. Thank's

I don't know if this could be classed as a tip.A few years ago, when I was still going to classes, we made a linen shirt with Heirloom embroidery on the front using the decorative stitches on our sewing machines.You would never believe what we used to stabilize the linen.NORMAL PHOTOCOPY PAPER!It pulled away very clean and left no scratchy bits behind.We also used the paper for the decorative stitches on a Jenny Haskins "Cream on Cream" quilt.Worked famously.

I've never thought about photocopy paper for machine embroidery, I use it all the time to start off quilt blocks so they don't jam in the plate. You are so smart.
