Trouble hooping the sticky stabilizer?? OH Please, don't say you were removing the paper first before hooping. hahaA friend & I were talking embroidery with another lady--she said she hated the sticky stabilizer and refuses to use it. Said it was so hard to hoop--it kept sticking to everything and she couldn't even get the hoops together! We've discussed how sad she had no instruction about stabilizers.
