U.K. Cuties, what do you use when Pellon is required, I have been buying from Dunelm, I think they call it wadding, but it keeps catching on the needle & foot, Thanks for any help, Jean xx

Mainly in the hoop, coasters, placemats, I've looked on eBay, lots of them are iron on, I call it batting/ wadding, no sure if that's the right name, thanks.

Jean for what you are using the stuff for I use curtain lining that has a wadding back.

For most ITH items I use either Bump curtain interlining (a non-woven felt like fabric) or fleece (Ikea blankets from the sale).

Great, thanks Sue, I have a few fleece blankets from ikea, never thought about using them, I use them for making the dogs toys. Jean xx

Are you using it directly under the needle?. If so place a tear away or clear see through was away over what you are stitching and remove when finished stitching that part.
