Hi, Peggy. I have used Scotchgard Fabric & Crafts Spray - amzn.to/3MjvqiP. But, I've also made plenty of coasters without the protectant spray. It does help to prevent stains from settling into the cotton rope. I guess it's a matter of personal preference. If you use the protectant spray, you will have to reapply each time after you wash the coasters. I hope this helps!
I did make the coasters! The coasters are basically made the same way as the rope baskets, if you're familiar with those. Anyway, I do have a video tutorial on how I made the rope coasters: ruclips.net/video/7zTOMR-9gOA/видео.htmlsi=IvWm82c9VDmgXdK6 I hope this helps!
@@glorypetyo7162 From what I've read, that's a great machine! I'm very envious!! Please let me know how you like it as I'm sure some day I will upgrade!
@@glorypetyo7162 That's awesome. I would definitely take advantage of the lessons, if that's an easy option for you! There's also a couple of Facebook groups dedicated to machine embroidery. I've found them very helpful and inspiring. Here's one that is specific to Brother Machine Embroidery users: facebook.com/groups/brothermachineembroidery/
Thread is bunching up on my Janome mc500e. How can I fix it? Thanks
@@dianeintino9208 Try slowing down your stitch speed. Also, it may help to use a denim needle. Hope this helps!
@ thank you!
Nice video
Thank you!!
Do you protect the coaster with any protective covering ie. deco podge or scotch guard?

Do you use same color in the bobbin as well?
No I don’t use the same color in the bobbin.
Did you make the coasters? Do you have a tutorial for making the coasters?

Love your coasters! If you use cut away or tear away stabilizer on the back, do you cover the back at all?
I do not cover the back. I trim away the jump threads and as much of the stabilizer as I can.
@@TheBirchCottage thank you so much! I have had my Brother Stellaire for about two months and just learning!
