Need help what stabilizer do I use for in the hoop stuffed animal. Wanting to do a trial run now.

I use tear-away if the project has a dense design or fusible no-show mesh for less dense designs when removing the stabilizer might damage the bobbin threads.

I like the no-show mesh cut away. It's soft and flexible and I just leave in the entire piece. I have stuffed many items with it and had great results. I avoid pulling stitches because there is no tearing and no misshaping of fleece. It works for me.

Tear away - and get rid of as much as possible before you turn the pieces! (Especially around the seams.)

In addition to all mentioned below, I have had good results using a good quality batting; one that is firm and stable.

I use tear away, hope this helps. Hugs, Yoriko

I have used tearaway, washaway, or scraps laid out to fit the hoop. I don't think it matters as it is inside the stuffed animal. Hope this helps.
