When I make FSL designs I prefer to use either the Floriani Wet n Gone
or the Pellon Wash N Gone. Both of these are more like a "fabric" that
dissolves in water.
I have tried Solvy, and other brands but I personally do NOT like how
they make my designs turn out.
For best results in MY personal experience, I use a MINIMUM of 2 layers
of stabilizer, if the design has more density to it I will use 3-5 layers, but
that depends on just HOW dense the design is.
I use a thread net on ALL spools of thread but find it is more important
to use the thread net on metallic thread.
Run the machine at the SLOWEST speed possible (for machines that is 350spm).
Use a LARGE EYE (90/14) SHARP needle or a "TOPSTITCH" SHARP 90/14 needle.

Just curious, what type of material are you using? Embroidery Library recommends Ultra Solvy or Vilene. Just curious.
Thanks.
