I love finding out there are others who are as cheap - er I mean thrifty - as I am! :o)

I love the suggestion of just not cutting it. I think I could make that work if I just tape the roll to the left hand side of the hoop... gotta go check.

Great idea!!

I do much the same - in fact I have even taken like a 4 1/2 sq of stabilizer, marked the center, match it to the center of the fabric that will be hooped and embroidered, and lightly taped down the corners of the stabilizer where I know the pattern will not be stitching. Now that is cheap!! - but it has worked! :lol:
So no buckling?

DITTO!!!! And I thought I was the only miserly one!
