In hopes to use the stabilizer economically, ideally for the next project, you can keep that remaining stabilizer piece in the hoop, and add a "patch" of additional stabilizer under the torn area only to float the next embroidery project.
If you’re making the pillowcase as opposed to using a ready made one, I think I would add a lightweight tear away or cut away fused to the back side of the design to help control puckering a little more. That extra stabilizer won’t be seen once the pillow is constructed.
i would have liked to have seen the attaching and detaching of the hoop to the machine instead of a close-up of your face, since i am trying to learn how to use the machine. thanks for the easy to understand steps for the project.
What was the name of the stabilizer that you used for free standing lace? It was on a Babylock video that you talked about all different types of stabilizers.
Is it the same way for French seam pillowcases? 😃 😃 😃 Before you do the last seam for the French seam do you cut off any of the 1/4" seam allowance before you stitch the last seam?😃😃😃
Hi Debbie, it depends a bit on what kind of thread you use. Cotton thread would not be recommended for an item that's going to get a lot of washing, but rayon and polyester threads can both be washed innumerate times both in household laundry and dry cleaning without breakage or fading. Polyester thread will also hold up against bleaches, chlorines, and commercial washings. Using either rayon or polyester threads in your embroidery will give you stitches that remain beautiful throughout all the normal wear and tear and washing of your pillowcases and other items.

Great video! Keep it up
Oh, Sara, Sara, Sara! If you could only cook!
Great! Keep it up!
Great video to give beginners confidence. Puckers or not
Inside out! I’ll do it!
Will the stitches hold up with a lot of washing?

Good morning dear I'm embroidry work my 12years experience so please give me a job
But, when you sew the French seams on the edge, the name is no longer perfectly centered.
Thank you! Great video, great concepts. Others should be less critical.
It was puckered and looked awful. I think you knew that which is why there was no close up shots.
Pete Larson That’s why irons were invented!
Hey Pete do much embroidery?
I noticed that too!
