I often get asked about my scissor stabilizer and thread nets so I thought I would make a short info vid and tell you a little about the ones I use and why I like them.
I must add that these are my preferences. There are many other products on the market that you might prefer much more than these, there is nothing wrong with sticking with what you know best.
What works for you but if you are new to machine embroidery I expect you feel you are drowning with choice. What do you choose if you are new to machine embroidery? Well I hope this helps you to make the right choice for you.

I can’t live without my sharp stabby tool as I call it, is a clay sculpting tool. I bought it in my local craft shop. Amazon do sell them as part of a clay sculpting set but not individually.
All my other supplies are from Amazon including my large squizzors. They are actually aquarium precision pinch action scissors.
I use H2O gone FSL water soluble stabilizer or Brothread cut away stabilizer for my stitch outs.
Happy stitching!

Hi. You've really inspired me to use my embroidery machine and your videos are brilliant. Could I ask what batting you use please. Yet another minefield of information to take on board

Thank you, Kay. Very helpful video. I love my squizzles, too. Even broke my first pair. lol I've ordered the double curve scissors and can't wait to try them. I use the same stabilizers as you, just different brand names. I wish I had known about these products when I started embroidery years ago. I really appreciate your videos!! Angel Huggers!!

I love your videos. I'm new to machine embroidery, and your videos are extremely helpful. I am obsessed with your tape. What kind of tape do you use? It sounds like it rips off the roll very easily. On your videos it sounds like you don't spend any time trying to find the end of the tape and pulling it off the roll. I've just been using washi tape to this point, but it is a pain in the rear. So what tape do you use, and where do you get it from? Thanks!

Hi Carol, I use cheap 1" masking tape in a large office size sellotape dispenser as it is heavy enough not to move when I pull on the tape. When filming videos I tear off enough strips for each hooping beforehand as it is much quicker, the noise you hear in the videos is the tape unsticking from the edge of my table as I pull it off to use. Thanks for watching and happy stitching 😊

Is there any particular type of tape you use to tape things down?

The cheapest masking tape that I can find as it is usually the stickiest, no particular brand. Happy stitching

Is there any particular type of tape you use to tape things down? The reason I ask about tape is the non stick masking tape does not hold up well when embroidering.

Yes the cheapest masking tape that I can find as it is often the stickiest. Don't use low tack as it doesn't hold. I hope this helps 🙂

I use squizzors all the time to cut embroidery in the hoop. I seem to be able to get closer to the stitching just have to be careful that I don't cut the stabilizer because they are very sharp. What stabilizer do you use on the back of towels that you embroider wether kitchen or bath towels?
@KaysCutz
@KaysCutz 5 жыл бұрын
They are nice and sharp. For towels I would use 2 layers of wash away. I am going to be doing a video on embroidering towels very soon.
