So I'm guessing at 1:19 the Embroidery Stabilizer is the Water Soluable Fabric??? I do appreciate your share, it's a bit difficult to fallow as the images on the screen don't match your narration. I guess you know what's in your head and we're to try and make sense of it...?
for some reason whenever i use free embroidery for my water soluble cloth it keeps on looping at the top of the surface. is there any way to stop that from happening?
Hi. This sounds like a tension issue. Normally looping on the top of your fabric indicates that the bobbin tension is too loose, but it might just be that the top and bobbin tension are out of sync, so it might be that you need to loose the top tension a bit. The other reason could be how sharp your needle is, so you could try using a new needle and see if that helps. You could also try using a smaller needle size, or even double up the water soluble fabric. Please let me know if you still have issues after trying these things and we can continue to brainstorm. Cheers, Rebecca
Hi again, I'm busy stitching a butterfly into water soluble fabric and i managed to recreate your issue (i think), the first time i got loops on top of the fabric was because i was moving by hoop slightly too fast for the speed i was stitching at. The second tube i got a few loops was when i was trying to stitch some detail into a section where i had previously done some very dense stitching, this i solved by using a size 60/8 needle instead of the 80/12 needle that i did the rest of the design with. The thinner needle helps to slip between the stitches easier. I hope this helps.
Yes, i learned the hard way that if you use ball point or gel ink it shows up after it's dissolved, so it's best to use water soluble pen to make sure there is no carry over of color. (Unless your pen color matches your thread color).
Here's a link to the water soluble stabilizer I'm using in my videos amzn.to/3q0DFIT

Thanks for making this video. Which soluble fabric did you use please?
Hi Sally, thanks for your comment and question. I use New Brothread Embroidery Stabilizer Washaway white. I got mine from Amazon.
Precisely! A BIG HIDDEN SECRET for the Beginner...😒
Making "Circles Stiches" with thread???
Yes, move the fabric in a circular motion as you are stitching.

So you're saying to use a water Soluable pen as you are using a ball point ink pen???
