What about the cutaway stabilizer on the back? If the towels are used/washed, then that will get ugly or cause problems?

Yeah! My favorite site for buying designs has finally started videos. Now I can recommend the site and the videos to all my friends. The hoop hokie pokie was a great way to describe the fight to get bulky things into the hoop I always have a hard surface under the whole hoop. I used to use my ironing board and now I make sure I have a piece of counter or wood on the ironing board

Embroidery Library I have officially given up on the "hoop hokie pokie". I whip stitch baste my fabric after centering it on the hoop and securing it 90% I'm an engineer and I can tell you the hoop hokie pokie is not a reasonable solution and it is a failure of proper engineering

Embroidery Library oh no, it's hooped too, a piece of sulky silky is attached across the back AND then I whip stitch it in for extra security and tightness

I work in as an Emroiderer and I see many unlogic facts in this video. Cut away is a very bad choice as a stabilizer for towels because of aesthetic reasons. Recently, I embroided few towels and I have used wash away topping from both sides and it was perfect. For some more complicated design Wash away stabilizer can be also used. And I would never recomend using adhesive glue spray because it is very bad for machine´s moving parts. There is much better solution from Madeira and it is called Filmoplast stabilizer.

+Igor Arnaut Hi Igor! If you have a method that works well for you, then excellent - keep using it! We teach a method that works best for us. I have found that wash-away stabilizer on the back doesn't hold up well over time, and can result in shifting and gapping during embroidery as well. That is why we recommend cutaway stabilizer on the back. HTH!

Hi, very pretty. I have been doing kitchen towels, the front looks nice ,but the tear away on the back looks not so nice. I try and pull out as much as I can. Can I use wash away on the back also? Any suggestions?

@EmbroideryLibraryEL 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Darlene, we generally use cutaway stabilizer on most projects, as it provides the best support for the stitching. For specific projects or fabrics, reference our stabilizer guide for more information: www.emblibrary.com/EL/elprojects/Projects.aspx?cs_productid=pr1153&cs_catalog=elprojects

Hi I love this site and am relatively new to machine embroidery. Please would you give ma an idea as to what size designs are suitable for different towels. I notice that the design you have stitched is available in 4 different sizes. many thanks

@EmbroideryLibraryEL 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Sarah, it will depend on your towel and the design type. I would recommend measuring the area you'd like to have embroidered, and then find the designs that fit that size. Thanks!

I'm a newbie. How did you finish off the back after you cut away the stabilizer? Isn't it hard to cut close enough to get it all off?

@EmbroideryLibraryEL 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Susan, we don't cut away all of the stabilizer, as that won't leave anything to support the embroidery. Generally we recommending trimming around the design in the back and leaving the cutaway stabilizer to support the stitches.

Okay I have tried to do some towels and have no LUCK!They start off fine, then, the towel gets pulled down into the bobbin and gets stuck!!!! The towel rips and I have ruined a towel!

@jmdenison 9 жыл бұрын

what they don't tell you..... Okay, I love my brother embroidery machine and I love what it does. I have the 2002 ULT disney and cannot live without it. BUT, and this is a huge BUT. I don't trust the hoop. It does not grab fabric properly. You can pin and pin to your heart's desire but as noted in the video there is a devil residing on the top of every hoop brother provides? there must be a solution, but what is it? Whip stitch and baste it in all together taught.. I can show you how, it only takes a couple of minutes, but when the needle is moving up to 600 or so stitches per minute and the placement must be dead on and 90% taught, and sometimes the upper thread screws up and sometime the bobbin thread does too, there is nothing like taking 3 minutes and whip stitching that pesky towel, flannel, or whatever into the hoop. No devil can beat it and it won't ruin expensive fabric.

@EmbroideryLibraryEL 9 жыл бұрын

JoAnne Denison A devil in the hoop - that vision made me laugh, because at times it's so true! Try double-sided tape or rubber shelf liner, as that helps to grip things. I find that older hoops don't tighten easily, partly because the screw gets stripped. Not sure if that's what you're experiencing..... You might be referring to basting when you talk about whip stitching something into a hoop.

@jmdenison 9 жыл бұрын

I hoop, I put sulky sticky on the back, I whip stitch and then I pray. I can't think of anything else to keep the darned thing all together. My hoops aren't stripped, it's just there must be a better way, that's all.
