And like others have said, be sure the weight of the quilt is NOT pulling on the hoop AT ALL! I've done this on several quilts and love the look!
For the quilts you have done with the verious stabilizers, which do you like the best, or does it depend on the type of design? Some can be quite a pain to remove, and you would want every last bit gone.... Do you ever use multiple layers of stabilizer?
Thanks!
