Stabilizer Question for Machine Embroidered Blocks
#11
I use wash away-tear away stabilizer, I hoop the stabilizer and a thin piece of muslin along with my fabric. This gives the design something to hold onto after the tear away is torn off and lessens my chances of pulling the stitches out. I use the wash away because some of my designs have been a bit dense and the wash away will dissolve and keep the quilt block soft but still has some shape due to the thin muslin. I'm talking really cheap thin muslin so make sure you wash it first because it will shrink.
Again, thank you all!

Another suggestion to go to www.emblibrary.com and do a search for tute on stabilizing quilt blocks. I was just there and I think they had one. I love Kenny's helpful tutorials!
