On the stretchy maternity tops I made for Sammi, I used sticky back med wt tear away, the top, then wss. hooped it all together and embroidered. I bought the sticky back at JoAnn's it is the prepackaged kind not the by the yard kind. Hope this helps *

I am not sure but the Embroidery library has a lot of project information. Maybe they can help. Also check out embroiderthis to see if they have any.

You can buy it on Ebay through OESD (no bidding). I just saw it there.

I had to order my Polymesh online because Joann's does not sell it. Discount embroidery has Polymesh at 10 yds. for $11.99 US, and I think that their shipping is free. That's not a bad price, and 10 yds. should last for awhile. Also, Sulky has a product called Soft N Sheer which I believe is like Polymesh. You can get that at some of the larger Joann stores. Good luck!

Very good question, and some very helpful answers! Flowers to all!

good question there *4u

Hi sweetie, the first I bought was from my dealer, who carried OESD and was expensive( $19.99-40pcs 11"x14") I knew I liked it so when I saw it on WWW.Shoppersrule.com - 10yrds for $11.96,I bought more. It comes in white , black and flesh color. The beige or flesh color is not supposed to show through on white or light colored fabric. You can use 1 or 2 layers. I do almost all with 1 layer hooped, then spray, then lay knit shirt and place solvy on top of shirt. Hope it works for you.

I get it fromm allstitch.net they also a have a product called cover a stitch which I love, it is used to cover the back of embroidered items, It is really good for kids and baby items.

I order mine from Atlanta Sewing Center. It is an OESD product and is $19.99 for 40 perforated sheets that are 11x14 which is perfect for my large hoop. PM me if you want the 800 phone number. ;)

Believe OESD has it, Husqvarna Viking has it. I am surprised JoAnns does not. Possibly Hancock. When I think about it I don not remember seeing it there. Try most sewing machine/embroidery dealers. I feel certain one of them will have it. I have also seen it at Brother and Bernina dealers. My Viking dealer sells it by the roll or by the yard.

Go to Ebay, they have it, but the shipping is expensive.****

OHHHH, you can also try Joanns on line!!!!

Forgot to say All stitch will send you a catalog and sample cards of their stabilizers so you can actually see what you are ordering. Phone is 410 525 0714.

Here is the page where you can go and request a sampler of stabilizers and the catalog from allstitch.net

THANKS FOR THE INFO

Here are 3 places that sell the Diagonal Poly Mesh in the Regular non Fusible type and the Fusible type to use on Knit type fabrics such as T-shirts, Sweatshirts etc.

The new Diagonal No Show Mesh stabilizers are cut Away stabilizers and they holds more stitches per layer than the first Poly Mesh stabilizers that came out on the market earlier.
