Freestanding Lace Stitching problem Stabilizer pulls apart
teriliz Advanced Beginner NY USA Member since 8/17/08 Posts: 4	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/5/13 4:24 PM I am learning to do fsl bowls and such. The problem I am having is that as the machine is stitching out each piece it gets to a point when the wss starts to tear around the edges of the design and it is no longer supported. I am using three layers of 3 layers of Pellon Sol-u-film lite and coats and clark poly thread. How can I prevent this from happening?

Date: 1/5/13 4:57 PM Thank you, I thought as much, but didn't know if anyone had any ideas that I could try without purchasing more stabilizer, budgets a little tight right now, lol....I will wait till Friday and see what JoAnn's has for heavier one.

Just use 2 or 3 layers and you shouldn't have any problems. I'm keeping the plastic film stuff just for toppers in future. ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!

I ordered some and used it to make another batch of snowflakes. It is great! ------ Berninas 830LE ♥ Artista 630PQE ♥ 930 Record ♥ Juki TL2010Q ♥ Pfaffs Creative Performance ♥ Passport 2.0 ♥ Singers 221 ♥ 301 ♥ 500a ♥ Kenmore 1040 ♥ Elna 'Grasshopper' ♥ Tacsew T500 ♥ Babylock Evolution

It really depends on the designs and how much satin stitching it has like around the edges etc. ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

It was what my Pfaff dealer was using when she was making the lace snowflakes; I asked her why she was embroidering on naked stabilizer, lol! She uses 2 layers for smaller designs and 3 for larger ones. I never would have guessed it was the dissolvable kind, love love love it! ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!

It worked very well for my free standing lace projects. ------ I'm sorry for my poor grammar. English is not my first language.
