With great difficulty I should imagine.

Great answer!
I thought exactly the same Marg. I thought why would you bother embroidering on a piece of wooden sled. I think here in Australia we would call that hat a "Beanie". Love and blessings Chris
We would call it a Beanie here in SA Chris
Same here in Germany or just "Strickmütze" ;o)

Is this a trick question???
1 comment
I think it was more a trick answer than the question! Seems there is several meanings for the same word. Seems like something like this pops up more and more often as more Cuties from all over the world join in our conversations. Actually it is alot of fun finding out all of these "new" things although I may never need to know them.

Why would you want to embroider on a toboggan?
1 comment
Well now we have worked out the language difference it is easy to answer. Stabiliser under and wws on top if its fleece. And... what do I call it... a woolly hat

I got a chuckle out of your responses. Not everybody defines 'toboggan' the same way.
Knitted or fleece?
What size hoop?
If there's going to be a roll up or cuff, you need to look it differently. What you'd be doing, basically, is embroidering on the inside and upside down. You wouldn't want to do a design that is stitch heavy.
Water soluble stabilizer on the top and the bottom.
My 2 cents worth.

According to my Webster a toboggan is what I thought it was, a light sled - quite suitable for winter Olympics, but for embroidery? So please enlighten me, what is a toboggan??

It depends on what part of the world you live. Its a knitted (or crocheted), or fleece, cap.

Wow - so a toboggan is a cuff?

Beats me. Only toboggan I know is one you ride on in the snow.
Now I have to go googling.

Very interesting. Thank you Meganne.
That was an interesting article. I read most of it and the word "soda" came up as a drink. Some people call them "pops" and, others just call them a "coke". What is the consensus out in the Cutie world?
Some call them 'soft drinks'. If they come in a cup like at a fast food restaurant they are called 'fountain drinks'. That stuck from the old 'soda fountains' in drug stores in the 50's.
I am a Pibb and Dr Pepper person myself. I am trying very hard not to drink so many as I once did. I do love them but only fountain ones or poured over ice so the fizz is gone.

I grew up with "pop" in Illinois, but when we moved to Arkansas, I had to get used to "coke" for any kind of soft drink.
Here's another one--wore "nylons" up north, and they're "hose" down south!

If you read the caption under the picture, it says: "Child wearing modern toboggan..." Its the red thing on his head, not his sled.

I've lived in NJ, Illinois, and Colorado, and this is new to me. Skullie cap would be what I was looking for.

It has many names and it depends on which part of the world you're standing on as to what it might be called. In Canada its called a 'tuque.' Growing up in Georgia, if I couldn't find mine, I'd ask my momma if she knew where my sock hat was... sometimes I'd called it a 'boggin.
The short answer is: Its a stretchy cap that's pulled down over the head during times of extreme cold.

It can be knitted, crocheted, or made out of fleece.

I had to read the whole page because I was trying to figure out what or why you would want to put an embrordery design on a piece of equipment that glides through the snow...I had to laugh as I read all of the replies about this. I gues there are several meanings for the word according to where you live. I sure do learn alot right here on Cute everyday! I am not sure I would ever use some of the words/meanings again but it is nice to know!

I use self-adhesive, tear-away stabilizer from sulky, item no. 551-08. That is all I have ever used on all my projects. With WSS on top.
Put your stabilizer in your hoop. Make an X with something sharp but don’t go all the way through it. Peel back the paper and tear it off. I like to make a line up and down with a pencil so I will have true center. Put your hat down then put your WSS I use 2 layers on top and have fun. Just make sure you don't stretch the toboggan. Make sure you hold everything back while it is stitching. Hope this helps. DeVon

In Alabama they are mostly called Boggans. They are very popular since it gets quite cold here in the winter.
I am so glad you asked this question because I have 3 of them to embroider for my grandsons right now and have been debating about how to do it. Mostly I am concerned about whether to stretch some or not. I saw that Devon says 'not to stretch' so I now have my answer.
Great question that helped me too!!!

Marcelle, I wish all of us Bama Cuties could meet in the middle around Montgomery! I'm originally from Athens but live in south Alabama now.
Now that would be an interesting group. I love your term 'Bama Cuties'. There is another Cutie that lives near Florence but just now I forget her name. I know she shops at Ken's Sewing Center. I wonder just how many are in Alabama. There was one in Loxley I know from when we were talking about Bama's win Monday night. We need to do a count.

I also thought it was a sled, that is why I gave the earlier answer that I did. You learn something new every day here at Cute. Marg

this is an interesting question, had never heard the word toboggan. Interseting answers here too. *4u all.

Everyone's responses are so funny! I'm from the Deep South and I knew exactly what you meant. But your question is answered by Devon below and her instructions worked great for me!

I see you have your answer. I have embroidered many of these and they turn out nice. Do not stretch it.
They are fun to do. I use clips to hold the hat away from the frame. Have fun

Thank you for this enlightening info, I was not aware of this, always just called them knit caps...like someone said you learn something new everyday.

Now that you know the answer. . .
Had an experience like this the first time I met the woman who became my mother-in-law. SHe was going to give me some home grown tomatoes, and she told me that she would give me a poke of them. I had no idea that a "poke" was a sack!! I didn't know why she wanted to poke me! I had just met her! Now we laugh about it, of course.

I'm glad I read through the messages as I had no idea either why you would want to try to embroider on one. It would get covered with the snow when you rode on it.

This ques. really made me laugh!. My hubby from Mi. asked me why are you calling THE CAP A "boggan"? When I came to Al. from Ga. I found out what a "boggan" was. I usually put a heavy stabilizer in hoop, do not stretch boggan out but pin on stabilizer, ccover with 2 layers of the wash away stabilizer, baste it in the hoop, remove pins & then emb. or you can embr. name or design on felt & then sew on boggan/Lillian

We in South Africa call it a Beanie. Here in South Africa, it is not getting so cold with snow in the winter. A lot of people are wearing it, specialy winter time. Hugs Marie

Growing up in East Tennessee, I knew exactly what you meant and we had mittens before we had gloves and I can remember going to the cloak room out side of each classroom at school to remove my leggings before class. All girls wore dresses, skirts or jumpers to school. Never Jeans or pants. I think my first pair of jeans came from the boy's department and the waist was too large on all of them. I am talking about the 1940's here!!! Kay

Sorry for all the confusion. It is funny how different states call the same thing a different name.

I think of these as ski hats. A very popular style for winter.

When I told my husband about all this about toboggans, he said, What would they know about sleds in the south?... What would they know about knit caps? Does it really get cold enough for either??? IT was 20 below zero here in Colorado last night - he he
