Yes it made sense to me.
No I haven't the 505 spray and pins method yet.
Since my fabric was just 100% cotton I decided to just hoop
fabric with the stabilizer and it worked the way it should.
With that being said I did use a new (to me) kind of tear away
stabilizer that I got from Joann's, it is a Pellon not exactly sure
what the item number is but it looks like perforated paper or a
holey stabilizer.
The design I did was from the
watercolor birds on Emb. Library
which has 63,789 stitches, and on my machine it took 113 min.
to stitch out (not counting the thread change time).
I will post pictures later of my actual design that I stitched.
