Any water soluble film works fine as a topper. I typically use a heat soluble film from world widener because it won't degrade from humidity over time. But any of the soluble films work just fine.
I get the cloud cover from Threadart and I'll add their link to the descriptions... www.threadart.com/collections/cloud-cover-stitch but you can find similar products like Sulky Tender Touch or OESD Gentle Touch. Most stabilizer brands have their own version of backing you fuse to the back and cover stitches after embroidery. (●'◡'●)
Like you a don’t embroider a great number of garments. And those are t-shirts rather than sweatshirts. I use a fusible no-show mesh & 2 layers of wash-away. As my designs are relatively simple using topper or not has no effect. I have the large Echidna hooping station which is great & the DIME snap hoops in 2 sizes. The thing I’ve struggled with the most is the small size of the t-shirts: on the multi-needle the neck opening doesn’t accommodate the travel of the hoop very well. How do others cope with this?
Hi Vicki! If the design is large and the tubular arm of the multi-needle is stretching out the neck, then insert the tubular arm through the bottom of the shirt and rotate the design 180 degrees. That should give it more room to move. Thanks for sharing about your Echidna station working with the DIME magnetic hoops. That's good to know! And that's a good tip to use 1 layer of mesh combined with some wash-away to keep the t-shirt stable and (I assume) avoid puckering.
