these came from Wal-mart....I used tear -away under and solvy on top. I opened the side seam down to the red fur.
You have to stay with it to hold the top layer of white fur back. I also printed out thread templates with my embird. and got most of my thread out so I wouldn't have to leave my machine. Fresh needle and ready to go.. Good Luck.

with Knit i think i would use a sticky tear-away so your fabric won't distort. But always use a topping when you think the stitching will disappear.

Great advice tip22/Lillian
by mlbell70 23 Dec 2014
Thank you both for the helpful information. There is a lining under the top part where I would be adding the name, so don't know how to hold the top knit in place while sewing.

I think i would open any seam and lay the knit directly on the sticky back tear-away.....when your finished sew it shut again.

Well done! It looks like there will be many happy people with new stockings this year. Excellent use of the Cute designs!

The best part of working with fake fur (like the tops of these stockings) is you can trim the fur near the embroidery stitching to make the letters easier to read.

Yes you can trim ...but, I like the fluff. Still have some topping removal but the most of it is gone.

Was looking for your wedding pillow and came across these. Great job on the stockings. Love the font. What font did you use for the lowercase? I am thinking of making some new stocking for 2015 as the old ones are looking a little worst for wear. Happy Stitching!!!
