Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. I on the other hand am not doing so great... Remember that Sweatshirt I was going to turn into a Jacket for my mom? Well, I finally got all the stitch out's using the embroidery machine, and it came out better than I expected.

My problem is this: I used a med weight stabilizer on the bottom, and Vilene (Water Soluble Stabilizer) on top. I marked everything that needed with either chalk or washable marker for garments. The marker and chalk came out perfectly, but the Vilene did not dissolve?!!! I am so bummed. It looks like broken tissue paper all around the edge of my design.

I could make another, but given that this one took me forever to stitch, I wanted to mail it out on Friday so that she could receive it by Tuesday. Her birthday is on the 13th.

Anyone have any experience with Vilene that can help me? Or is my project doomed?

Thanks!

Wanda
