Another way to help embroidery with fine fabric/ wss
Buy a piece of non slip mesh from the hard-ware and cut it to fit your frames, remember to first cut it larger than frame hoop it and then cut out the area that you would put the designs
I have cut out one for each of my frames and hang it under the frame when they not needed
THIS WORKS WELL FOR ANY FINE FABRICS

Yvonne, you should post this hint in General so that more people can see it.
How do you attach the fabric/wss to the mesh?

Meganne, you place your fabric onto the bottom part of your hoop, like always, then you put your Mesh down and then put your top hoop on and pull the fabric and mesh together and tighten . Hugs Yvonne

Isn't it miracilous how we each come up with our own 'ways' to get things done!! I have a small piece of material that I use only at the bottom where the frame screws closed, I read once that to make a full square defeates the purpose of the corners getting tight, OR only on the sides and sometimes the bottom is enoug.
Thanks for sharing!!

I have a doubt, if I often use this mesh, my hoop has problems to grip a regular fabric with a normal stabilizer .The mesh has an abnormal thickness I think... Adriana

Adriana, I have just this for about 3 years , when ever I use fine fabric and my hoops are still fine. Hugs Yvonne
Thanks,Yvonne. I'm happy of hearing you so because it is really a good solution for these fabrics.
Sorry should read "I have used this for about 3 years"

I use something similar for embroidery.
I use strips of Kitchen Shelf Liner and adhere them to the bottom of my inner hoops with Wonder Tape which is a double sided, water soluble tape.
The Shelf Liner Strip come up between the 2 hoops along with the excess water soluble stabilizer or fabric and stabilizer and hold everything taut in the hoop.
This is especially good for FSLace embroidery as the it holds the water soluble stabilizer tight and it dosen't slip while I embroidery.
I leave the shelf liner on my hoops for all my embroidery.
Here is a link to Criswell K-Lace website showing how to put the Shelf liner and tape on the bottom of the inner hoop. You can click on each picture on the web page and see a close up look of each.
Here is the page.

This works great as I don't have to hoop anything extra with my stabilizers and fabrics.

Hi. First of all I want to say thank you for your patterns. Using the mesh does it help your fabric from slipping?

Welcome to "cute"
Hope you enjoy stitching some of them. Yes the mesh helps to keep the fabric firm in the hoop. Hugs Yvonne
