for those of you that do machine embroidery... the film I use is the same that the stucco guys use to put on their windows before they stucco so they don't have to wash windows when they're done.
It comes on a huge roll 25 inches wide. I forgot how long, but I've had it for 5 years and still have enough for another 5 years plus. $40.00 for the roll. I can't afford the price Joann's or other's charge.
