Sulky threads just did a demo/class for our guild. He explained how to use their stablizer that disolves in water. You can just stitch the outline (onto the stablizer) and then stitch and other lines you want, do alittle fmq for effect. Then just stick it into water. The stablizer disolves and you have your shape left. Just be sure you completely connect all the outside lines so there is an actual shape after the stablizer is disolved.
