stiff .....any hints from anyone ?

Welcome!

I always use a hoop, regardless. I don't like working in-hand, but you
may find that those who work in-hand outnumber those of us working with
hoops. I even use a largish embroidery hoop to do my hand quilting.

I've been stitching for 22 years and only this year did someone (Diane)
tell me to wrap the bottom hoop. I followed this instruction, and it
has made a good bit of difference for me in distortion of the fabric.

Hope you find this group helpful for you!

Or, you can wrap the top hoop, or you can wrap both. :-) Different
cultures/countries do it differently.

Glad it's working for you!

Hi Cheryl,
I almost always use a hoop or Q-Snaps when working with waste canvas
(wc) assuming you are working on a garment and not one of the heavy
cloth tote bags or aprons. I think it makes it easier to deal with all
the fabric. I use waste canvas that is about 2" bigger than the
stitched design and then use a hoop or whatever that is just a bit
bigger than the waste canvas.
Could you please tell us what you are working on? Also, if you are
interested, Dianne has my Waste Canvas Info sheet posted at her website.
I *think* the web-addy is http://www.heritageshoppe.com -- it's the
spelling of the shoppe I'm not certain of!! Anyway, there are a number
of people here who do waste canvas so you should be able to get a lot of
helpful info. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Thank You so much for the quick replies. I am going to work on a piece of
either fleece or a velour that I want to make into a pillow...so it is
actuall just a loose piece of fabric. I am going to ask another
question...I got a reply from Brenda (Thank You too Brenda!) that says she
uses non-fusible interfacing on the back also...do you all do that as well ?
The instructions I have do not call for that....but like I said I am a
newbie to this .

Thanks So Much
Cheryl
