A previous post mentioned how important it is to learn all about stabilizers. I've been quilting for a lifetime but am pretty new to machine embroidery. My lQS is offering a class on ME and the first class is heavy on stabilizers. I'm thinking I will sign up for it. Definitely not expensive, and lots to learn. I've done every utube thing I can find on them, but I have a feeling the class will sink in a bit better.

On the FSL, I tried to do some while experimenting. I did some on mylar which I like, but the density of the stitching makes them very fragile, so I tried some on toile (I think that's what it is. super fine netting which is clear but with a little shimmer) and really like that. Especially since they were snowflakes. Did some just on WSS as well, but I kind of like the little shimmer in the flakes.

Needle information, please keep it coming. Thank all of you for contributing.
