stitchlady Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my thread looks loopy. I'm embroidering in-the-hoop candy cane holders and when I put the back on, the thread looks like it has loops in it. Am I using the wrong stabilizer? I'm using fleece for both sides of the candy cane and iron on stabilizer. Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I made candy cane holders, used no show mesh which is a leave-in kind of stabilizer. I know to use tearaway as a suggestion but also try a permanent stabilizer. Quote Link to comment
stitchlady Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 thank you for your quick reply. but my question is that where would I get a no show mesh stabilizer? Quote Link to comment
AlexAbramov Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 There are many brands - and it must be available at any sewing store which carries all kinds of embroidery machines or embroidery designs and/or fabrics. Quote Link to comment
sherry Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Floriani brand is a good one that even has it as an iron-on type which is very stable. so i think this is a good choice for you as well. Quote Link to comment
nessa12 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 There are many others too - I'm just familiar with Floriani brand as that is what my dealer carries. Quote Link to comment
stitchlady Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Sherry and Nessa, thanks for the information. I have ordered the stabilizer - it was of the price $13.99. so thanks again. Quote Link to comment
