Please could I have some advice. I am about to sew the 3D butterfly on You Embroidery. http://youembroidery.com/23773_butterfly-98x77mm-upper-wings-hoop.html
The wws that I have is solufleece which is medium weight. Is it going to work, how many layers of the wws would you suggest, am I about to waste my time? Any other ideas? Thanks to all who read and reply.

I always use very thick wws. Feel your weight and do several layers. My thin one is very thin(have a whole roll of this) and tried with 6 layers and still no good. The thick one is expensive but get good results with just one layer. Good luck

I understand the thick stuff is best but at the moment I only have the stuff I mentioned

Please can anyone else answer this question. As there is a 30,000 stitch plus on this design and I have not done fsl before. The solufleece is the only stuff I have and I cant get anything else for a while ie the week

I am not familiar with solufleece so i looked it up. it looks like it should work. I would try a small sample design first. maybe one of those small butterflies at tavernmaker embroidery. The butterflies are lianestitch, which is the one on YouEmbroidery are pretty large. Good luck you never know unless you try.

I'm not familiar with solufleece so I checked it out. Unless I missed something, it seem it is mostly used with lightweight sheer fabrics.You might just experiment and see if 2-3 layers would work. For FSL I have always used vilene, ultra solvy or badgemaster. Please let us know how it works out. Hugs..Carol

I get my water soluable stabelizer from Sick designs. I only use one layer per hooping and never have any trouble. I have done this butterfly. It stitches out perfectly. Try it with the stabelizer you have. You have to stitch the upper set of wings first, so if they don't stitch the way you want don't continue to do the rest. Good Luck, Susan

This design is not going to be quick to stitch and if you haven't done any fsl before it could be a recipe for disaster! I would suggest that you try some of Christief's smaller designs in dbc to see how your stabiliser behaves itself!
