Hi Gay, The Battilizer is the Hoopsisters batting and stabilizer combined product that they recommend for their designs. As I'm completing the top of the block I'm not running into problems; there are decorative embroidery stitches done on the top and through the battilizer before the backing. It seems the trouble starts once I put the backing on, which is batik that is machine basted through the layers. I also tried using cotton on the back, but am still having trouble. Thank you for your response, I do appreciate your time!
