Next I tried using a Aileen' "tacky glue stick" that didn't hope the fabric
in place either.
Last I tried a basting stitch, still didn't like results.

Today I am going to try doing it the "correct" way which is hooping
the fabric with stabilizer. Sometimes I don't like hooping the fabric
because if not careful it will distort, or stretch the fabric wrong and
when the design is finished it doesn't look as good.

Will post pics IF it turns out right.


Have you tried hooping the stabilizer, spraying with the 505, and then pining your fabric on top of the hooped stabilizer. I do it all the time putting the pins on all 4 sides so the fabric is held steady for the embroidery process. I hope this makes sense.
