I'm looking for suggestion as to what fsl can be used for. I have a ton of them that I haven't stitched out, but when I give them to people my suggestions are limited...bookmarks, insert in a card, stitch on clothing...I was thinking about gluing onto a

I had bought some tearaway/washaway stabilizer a few years ago. I had used it in a project but it did not tearaway cleanly, so I didn't use it again. When I asked around about it, I found out that the paper did washaway but left fibers underneath the sti

I want to try to do multiple hooping to make a quilt. It seem that when I do embroidery with batting in it, even with a cutaway stabilizer, the embroidery takes up space and shrinks the fabric a little. I'm concerned about getting the merged parts to lin

If you have one of those low flow toliets you'll understand why I made this to hang in the bathroom. I started making wallhangs to give people something elst to buy in my booth. This was a freebie from Basketcase a while back and don't know if it's on

I have some tearaway/washaway stabilizer. It's a paper type stabilizer that is suppose to wash away over time...I guess. Anyhow, I wanted to use it in a pocket that will have fabric on top and on bottom. Will the stabilizer that is enclosed in the pocket

I've been doing some more mug rugs. Was a vendor at a conference (a cancer survivor one) last weekend and did some new ones so that people who attend this conference each year would have something new to buy. This is a Basketcase design! Thanks, Vicki! Y

Does anyone have experience with tearaway/washaway stabilizers? Do they tearaway cleanly? How do they wash away...do they dissolve in water? Do they disappear after one wash in a machine? Do they remain under the stitching and make pokies? Is the

I'm a little confused as to the difference between a pressing sheet and a teflon sheet used for applique. Are they both the same just with different names?

I had a thread nest that pulled my inner hoop out of the outer hoop. Any suggestion as to how to realign the stabilizer back into the hoop? Of course, this only happens when I almost done with the design.

I've been working on stitching out more mug rug for my next craft show. This design was a freebie from Cuties in 2014 when digitizers could post their designs. This is a Basketcase design, but I don't know if she still has it on her website. Stitched ou

I finally got around to stitching this project out. It's a cultrey holder from Stitch Delight. Her instructions and photos on how to do it were fantastic. They'd really dress up a table!

If you have a fabric that bleeds, will rayon threads absorb the color? I have a red sweatshirt that I was going to use some rayon thread on. While I don't normally prewash sweatshirts, I did this one and it bled. It is an 85/15 poly cotton so I w

Does anyone know how to remove temporary spray glue from fabric? My friend sprayed the fabric to make a Holloween custom. Washing it did not remove it.
