Do any one know a place where I can buy heavy WSS? By mail, of course. Here, in Portugal, I'm not able to find it.

This can be purchased at www.shoppersrule.com. jrob also has a site she purchses from, but I have seemed to have misplaced the address. I have not used this, but my next purchase will be that kind. The type I use I have to use double, and lay one sheet one way, and then the second sheet the other way so that they are on differenct grains. A lot of waste. I hope that you can find what you need.

Thanks for your information. I used double but put the sheets in the same way. I'll try your tip, while I'm seeking for the right one. Flower for your help!

Hi Nini, I bought my stabiliser for FSL from here:- http://abc-embroidery-designs.com/Embroidery_Stabilizers/ - i bought the (woven) fabric type (in the blue pack, top left of page) it is what i used for my bookmark and I am very happy with it, highly recommend to buy from ABC. Cheers & a rose, Meganne

Nini, for some reason - I was unable to get back into your questions and as well into the response that I started for you. I am sorry, that you are having so much trouble - it is never easy when you don't have the right stabilizer. Maybe someone that buys from the internet will show you where to buy what you need. I bought some H2O Gone from shoppersrule.com a couple times and I like it - I did have to use two layes, but it wasn't that expensive - maybe $28 with s/h. Good luck and please let us know what you do to resolve your difficulties. I wish I had a bushel of flowers to give you to make it all better. Shirlene

Thanks, shirlene. I've looked at shoppersrule but I'm a little confused because they show the price and ask us to "make an offer"
by shirlener88 09 Mar 2008
Is the price reasonable? If you think it is too high - make an offer for a price that you think it should be - if they can sell it to you for that - they will.

Hi Sqdancer, just wondering, do you use this for making badges/patches? do you use it on its own and embroider whole item, or add a layer of material and not fill in design? i want to make some badges to sew on tenpin bowling shirts. Cheers & a rose, Meganne

Hi Meganne
I use the badgemaster for my square dance patches. badgemaster in my hoop then chino in white attached with spray adhesive. I really find it great for making badges/patches...
