Does anyone know if vilene is toxic for dogs? My puppy seems to have found some and chewed on it. Don't think he actually ate much. I always have considered it to be a starch, but really don't know if there are chemicals in it.

I'm looking for a website that has a chart that lists different types of stabilizers and their uses. I have no clue which stabilizer is best for which project, or what are all the different kinds of stabilizers. Right now I sort of learn by experience...

Does anyone know if it is ok to leave in tearaway stabilizer in a project? I grabbed the wrong stabilizer. I thought I had used a cutaway, but it is actually a tearaway. Have no clue if this will cause problems or not.

Sometimes I like to make something two sided. However, when I use the embroidery thread in the bobbin, I end up with all kinds of problems...loops, thread nests, broken needles. Does anyone have some tips for me?

I've been working on some mug rugs and was using Fray Check on the satin stiched border in case I clipped the edges to close. However, I was astounded that it left the rugs smelling so bad. I had used Fray Check before, but not so much, just little dots.
