I'd like to know more about how it's done myself.
I've ordered some of the sticky stablizer for un-hoopables, but what I'm doing that I need the spray basting or glue for is In-The-Hoop ornaments. I bought the designs from Embroidery Library emblibrary.com. First, you embroider the die lines (2), cut them out. These will be the fabric used to embroider that becomes the ornaments. I'm using felt. Then, you hoop a piece of tear away stabilizer and embroider another die line. Then, you spray the basting or glue onto the back of the fabric you cut out and put it inside the die line in the hoop. the next thing the embroidery machine does is tack down the outer edges. Then, it will continue to embroider the designs. AFter all the inside work is done, it's time to glue/baste the back fabric on and put a ribbon in between to hang it by. Then, it sews around the outside again to embroider the two pieces together. The ones I'm working on now also have two buttonholes that sew because they are the little candy cane holders. I will find a link to this, so you can all see what I'm doing. I don't think I'm explaining it very well. It is really a lot of fun, and I hope to have at least 40 done for my kids' classes as gifts. I want to find the candy cane pens or pencils instead bc of the no candy rule.
Here is what I'm doing:
