Here is the link lbrow was referring to....P.S. you can't actually give a page number because there are so many posts, they move around quickly and are difficult to find.

I've done lots of TP emb. and hooping is easy. get your stabilizer-fold 3-4 sq of TP and place on stabilizer. Hoop as you would fabric. Make sure you unroll several sq of TP so the paper doesn't rip while embroidering. If the design is dense I suggest floating a piece of white felt inside the folded sqs of TP. Hope this helps.

Arh so you don't just sew on one piece you use 3 or 4 thanks for that info, I missed that bit on the instructions I have so it pays to read a lot Thanks

How far down the roll do you go? Looks as if it would tear off. Then I would cry.

I can't believe I actually got out a roll so I can explain it right. Fold over 3-4 squares. The left side of the hoop goes over the 4th or 5th sq. Center the design over the folded squares. Unroll an additional 3-4 squares so the paper doesn't tear while embroidering. If this doesn't help send me an email and I'll take some pictures and send back to you.

I don't hoop my TP, and I haven't had any trouble. My designs come out great.

This is fabulous! Thanks for asking this question, I was trying to think of a Christmas gift for my aunt, and this will be perfect. With a cute towel set, all with teddy bears (she collects). So a flower for you for asking & all the cuties for their answers. I love it when someone asks a question I hadn't thought of yet. :)

I hoop mine between one layer of cutaway and one layer of tearaway stabilizer without any problems. I use 4 sheets folded back to 2.
