what if you took a match and just ran it over the area you want to remove the interfacing? the lady I got my viking used it to remove the stitches after she cut them. That way there was no pokies sticking out.. Is this a bad idea?

I use glad press & Seal now so I don't do that again.

BTW, it is BEAUTIFUL!! Maybe you can add some cording around the design to hide the stabilizer??

Where did you get that design?
Hi Dawn,

I've used glad press and seal, but since I've been using the vilene I just love how it's almost like fabric and no matter how many stitches, it does not tear away until you're ready to remove it.

At this point I'm just going to be remaking it. I got that design for a company called www.hatchedinafrica.com She has beautiful designs and I've had it for about 3 years, and I just got the courage to stitch it and I screwed it up so bad. But lesson learned. Always test the stabilizer before I use it next time! lol

Thanks again for your kinds words.

Hugs,
Wanda
Thanks, I had forgotten all about that site! I love their designs.

I'm sorry you suffered this project. It always dreamed!
But just for now, safe for Christmas we will show how wonderful!
Return the bag to his mother with a few small things beautiful and a beautiful card that says love!
And you eat a piece of chocolate, a cool drink and take a walk outdoors to clear his pain and return with new courage to face the bag!
Thanks for sharing .... insurance will help many people!
And others are here to share everything with you!
A big, big hug!

When I use Vilene, I soak it in very warm (but not hot) water for 10-15 minutes and usually have no problem....good luck!

It is beautiful and the good news, you did it on white, not on black.

Is there any way to do some free motion stitching or more decorative stitching to tame those edges?

My heart breaks for you. I have made some messes that needed to be sent out and were not able to go out on time. Take a deep breath. Let it out slowly and scream. Just one good scream (if it doesn't scare the kids). Feel better?? I will scream here for you too.

I have never had this happen with Vilene. I usually tear it off before and it all comes off.
I hope you have better luck. It is a great product for machine embroidery.

if its loose try using duct tape -like removing cat hair-the duct tape is stickier than masking -clip out as much as possible then soak it for a spell before you re-wash This is how I had to get rid of viline I don't use it anymore
