Hi
I need a bit of help please. I bought the baby bib applique set from
Smartneedle http://www.smartneedle.com/BABYBIB_SNA.html

The instructions say to hoop 2 layers of tear away stablizer and then you
just lay your fabric on top (and bottom) to applique. The bibs come out
absolutely adorable except for the little fuzzies that remain when I tear
away the stabilizer after I finish the bib. I tried using 2 layers of water
soluable clear stabilizer, but it just fell apart with the denisity of the
stitches.
Does anyone have any idea as to what I am doing wrong, - maybe using the
wrong stabilizer or any other suggestions you may have

THANKS
Daisy

Try a "fabric" type water soluable stabilizer. I use Aquamagic, but there
are other brands as well. The plastic kind isn't strong enough to support a
lot of stitches in my experience.
