Another wee question? Sewing on faux suede, do you use a stabilizer or is it enough on it's own? Not a "solid" design either, is this right?

I stitched emlibrarys xmas tree on faux suede. 84000 or so stitches. No stablisier and it is beautiful. stitched out 2 dog faces for friends and they look great. I use none slip mat and hooped the suede, there are no burns. Helen

I used stabiliser in the hoop and just spray, temporary spray adhesive and then place your faux suede. Hugs Yvonne
