Morning Cute family. Is it possible to embroider a FSL design on to a piece of material? If I were to hoop the material what stabilizer should I use. I was thinking to 'float' WSS underneath the hooped material as I would like the back to be neat as possible. Many thanks and hugs Sarah.

When I do FSL on organza I use WSS hooped and pin the organza down but I could hoop it too I guess. I think Carolyn has put FSL on other fabrics.

I do not do a lot of FSL as it is not really me. When I do, I too always hoop the WSS. I am going to try what Chris suggests and see what happens. Thank you Linda. Sarah.

I have done FSL designs on organza and voile.
If my fabric was not See through, I would choose a Lace design (not FSL) just because there are less stitches and not all the understiching that would be unneccessary cos the fabric is there to hold it together.
I have a very large collection of very pretty lace. Some are done like reverse appli and the fabric is cut away from the the front of the design to leave the voile and then the lace is stitched.
I would use my WSS in the usual way on top to keep pile flattened Floating does not help with firming the fabric taught, and can get jammed/frumpled at the back. Although I have done the floating with tear-a-way in the past but did not get better results.

Hi Sarah, Yes, I've done FSL designs on Bibs for our grandchildren (when they wore them). I actually didn't use any stabiliser as there was a plastic backing to the bibs. It's up to you whether or not you use stabiliser. Mine turned out really well as they are not dense and therfore didn't rip the plastic backing on the bib. Love and blessings Chris

Thanks Chris. You know what, there is nothing like trial and error as a good learning curve. I am going to try it on a piece of material without any stabilizer and see what happens. Hugs Sarah.
