I did some ITH bags with water taffeta with NO problems. I did try using spray adhesive but it stained the taffeta, so I just hooped it with tear away. Use a new needle & it should be fine. Do you have some spare to do a test first????? Lyn. xx

thanks Lyn for your reply, did you use the iron on tearawy or just the regular kind, was your design very dense, I am looking at embroidering a japanese Koi on to the taffeta for a framed wall hanging, but it is a very dense design.

Nope, don't like iron on stabilizer. I just use 2 layers of tear away laying them in different direction. xx

I just used a tearaway and it embroidered beautifully. Hope this is going to be a great success for you.***

I dip my problem fabrics in liquid goo (watered down vilene) and it works great! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

I used this for a bag dense embroidery,should have waited to cut till the last,pulled back a little bit at edge.so be careful.used just a med tearaway,would use ironon next time,do show when done.
