So far I am not happy - some colours are worse than others but on the design I did yesterday the grey thread broke every minute of stitching...VERY frustrating! Thanks for the tip on the extra stabilizer. Not sure if I'd do it on baby clothes though as it might make them too stiff and scratchy. I did get it better yesterday, but I was working on a flat piece of stretch knit rather than a tiny bodysuit, so much easier to hoop.Austysmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346287173611932120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272351460186026468.post-45505341596096065432008-08-04T06:51:00.000+09:302008-08-04T06:51:00.000+09:30Hi..love your embroidery.

If there is a lot of detail in the stitching, the LSS suggested putting an extra piece of stabliser under the hoop when you embroider. My Mum tried lots of threads and loved the Janome ones the best so I have been using those and found them OK. I have used a few other brands and find that they tend to break more.<BR/>I'm too scared to embroider too, I haven't done much so still very much a beginner!!<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577791390653324770noreply@blogger.com
