ok, so I have a flower stitch foot and that thing came with NO directions...oh they are in the box but really....nothing I do is making flowers like what they show can be done...
If you have one of these and can make FLOWERS with it, please, please, please tell me what I am doing wrong! In my pix are the samples I did the other night. The fabric is layered with batting..I did NOT like just a double layer of fabric..it preferred the batting sandwich! That pink thread is a vintage varigated DMC embroidery thread that is 50wt. As you can see on the Ultrasuede, the pink sunk in and sort got lost. I had to use a heavier weight thread on the ultrasuede, but it did fine with NO stabilizer... JUST no flowers...cute circular designs, but I want the big spirograph flowers they say you can make with this thing! |
I have this, but I haven't been able to try it out yet.

What if you use a stabilizer like when you do machine embroidery?

Try freezer paper if you have it because you can iron it to your fabric.

I can buy stabilizers wholesale, just have NO clue what I would need...way too many choices out there! ANd they are so costly... |
I always get a light weight and if I need heavier I just add another layer or 2. Do you have basting spray. That will work with the no iron stabilizer.

You can use the stabilizer you have, by spraying it with a temp. spray and it will stick to the back of your fabric. If needed, you can use more than one layer of stabilizer.
