Advise needed: After lots of struggle I was able to sew the owl (thanks to Meganne who spilt the design) However the Fleece on which I wanted to sew it on. It just was not possible to fix the stabilizer properly. So I sewed it separately. So for so good. Now what is the best way to put this design on the fleece ? Sew an oval around it, cut it, and sew it manual on it ? Cut it, fix it to the fleece and sew an oval around it (design on the fleece),....And so who can give me an oval/rectangle,.. if you notice I'm almost on the max of my hoop,.. tips welcome

This is a really lovely design. Well done. I would do a applique oblong circle to attach it to the fleece. Hope you can finish it in style. Lovies.*****

I too made this design and you have done a wonderful job. Mops has offered to make an applique oval for you and I actually would like that too. After my husband saw this he wanted one on a sweatshirt. Once I did an eagle and wolf picture for my brother and when I finished sewing it out and went to frame it, it needed something more so I placed the glass from the frame over the picture, drew around it with air pen and then placed a piece of batting under the design and stippled from the design to the drawn lines. It turned out beautiful and I imagine you could do the same thing with your fleece by drawing (or using Mops gift) an oval and stippling this onto the fleece. Whatever you do, it will be lovely.

Zoef zoef, have you thought of stick on stabiliser?
I use that most of the time. the design is fabulous and hope it will go well for fixing it.

stick-on-stabiliser ? Like a sticker ? But when you wash it, it doesn't come of ?

No it is great. especially also for T-shirts. when you finish the design you tear away what is left around the design.
bit more difficult than the normal tear away to do, but well worth it.and yes it sticks on the material like a sticker.You can also just hoop this and stick your top or whatever to it if you like. Could not do without it.
