Tips please. I'm monogramming an insulated lunch box. I'm thinking I will hoop tear away and float the box. What's the best way to keep it floated? I want to avoid pin holes and sticky spray. Is there a double stick tape in a special brand that works well? Any other ideas?

Haven't done this before. I think I would try using as much masking tape everywhere possible (avoiding the stitching area) to hold it in place. First thought of paper clamps but I don't think these would hold firmly enough nor be easily kept out of the way to keep the embroidery arm moving freely. Good luck.

masking tape or blue painters tape leave no residue

That's my go-to. 3M painters tape.

Scotch tape, double sided, is what I use. I am pleased with how easy it is to use. I have crippled hands.

I tried that brand on a different project and it didn't hold well.

Well, depending upon how thick the insulated bag is, I would use the double sided tape to tack it down and then reinforce the perimeter with painters tape...can never be too careful..
