I use the sticky back window film for hooping my embroidery work. I went to my son in laws one day and saw this window film that he uses to cover windows when he does stucco work on houses. I thought maybe I could use it, so I got a piece to try out. I also used the elmers glue stick to go round the inside of the hoop, but not on the design, just to make sure it holds. I hoop the film, lay the material down, slide a piece of stabilizer under the hoop and sew. When it's done I pull the film and stabilizer away from the design.
It is cheaper than paying for sticky back stabilizer from Joanns. I paid 45.00 for the roll, 23 inches, I forgot how long, but that was 15 years ago, over a thousand designs ago, and I still have enough film left to do it all over again, twice. I love the film.
