Do you hoop the stabilizer then just stick your fabric on top of it? I am reading that you do not have to hoop the fabric.

That is correct. Put the stabilizer in the hoop. Remove enough of the paper so the design will fit into it, the take your fabric and place it onto the sticky stabilizer and stitch away.so very easy. I love it.

Yes, I use this stabilizer and I just hoop the stabilizer and stick the fabric to it. Super easy and takes a lot of time out of the hooping process. :)

Yes, but I have my own system. I put both pieces of the hoop together and cut the stabilizer the size of the outside hoop. I peel it off and just stick it under the hoop. It doesn't always all come off but it helps keep other fabric from sliding so I don't care. This uses less of it and all you do is just position your fabric over it and gently smooth out the fabric. I reuses it by putting scraps in the area where you pull it apart and I can usually get 3 uses at least.

Make sure you put the foot dogs down (the things that move your fabric). Set your stitch length to "0". Practice on a scrap. I used fabric with batting between (similar to quilt). Practice how fast you move it to gauge your stitch. The foot will bounce up and down, but that is what it's supposed to do. Good Luck!

No, there needs to be weight to hold the hoop up. You need to use sand or water in the base.

I'm not at a point where I can look at mine right now, but if I recall correctly there is a wire frame structure that you put in the top-most cubie, and you thread the hooks through holes in the fabric. I seem to remember that the hooks swivel, but I can't say so for sure. With them hooking on my closet bar there's no need for them to swivel, so the only time that would have been noticable to me would have been when I initially threaded the hooks through the fabric.

This top has Velcro straps that are used to tie it to the frame. You set up the frame then strap the top to it. Hope that is useful info. If not, let me know.

The whole thing (all fabric) comes off leaving only two fabric straps which aren't removable. All of the inserts, bedding can be thrown in the washing machine. Washes up nicely. I've done it several times. Once you strip fabric, you're left with the plastic and metal frame and two fabric straps. Sorry forgot, the very top headpiece doesn't remove I don't believe but that really shouldn't ever get dirty since the baby isn't touching that ever.

I've been hand embroidering for almost 60 years, and I've never used a stabilizer as a backing. There is a foam board that sticks to the back of your design. I would advise using that, it also helps when you frame it. Check with a store that sells hand embroidery items and ask them. They could show you products that are up to date, and used for that purpose. This product is for machine embroidery, an entirely different procedure.

You can either use a rig and some clips or even cut small holes in the fabric and hang it with framing hooks. Thumbtacks work too.

There's a tutorial on YouTube that explains it. I've not tried it, but heard it is easy once you watch the tutorial. Mine stays set up on a craft table.

There are spray-on adhesives available at most craft stores that will do the trick nicely. Just don't spray it too thickly, you just want the surface of the fabric to stick, saturating the fabric would probably reduce its effectiveness; and use a small roller or flat scraper to smooth from the center out to attach the fabric smoothly. You will want to cut and do a dry fit before you glue, so that you will have good fit when you get ready to affix the fabric.

Hello! Sulky+ is not a stabilizer in the sense that we machine embroiderers would think. It has no weight designation. It's used to hold items that are hard to hoop or on which you do not wish to have hoop burn, and it works just as well with hooped items. It also easily tears away. It is not a heat fusible, so no fear of burning your special fabrics, i.e., knits, caps, terry cloth, nylon items, and velvet, to name a few. I use it to hold my items for embroidery; however, when embroidering an item with a densely stitching design, I normally use a cut-away stabilizer to stabilize the stitches, along with Sulky+. Hello!

I use this and then add an extra piece under the hoop we call floating. I use a tear away under the hoop. Just push it under the hoop. I also put a wash away on top of my t-shirt. All of this gives a beautiful stitch without puckers and tearing of the shirt. Be sure to use a ball needle with t-shirts too.

My wife is the one that uses this. She uses this for fusing two fabrics together for quilting. She says that she does not have any problems with gumming up her needles or with sticky residue when using this product. She explains that there are particular stabilizers for embroidery. She says that you should speak with a sewing machine shop/embroidery specialty shop as to the proper stabilizer for embroidery. She is assuming that you are using the stabilizer with machine embroidery.

It is screwed onto the frame. All you'd need to do is unscrew it if you want to recover it with your own fabric.

You have to put it on something solid above the springs, like I used a square of cardboard it just helps it pick up the movement. It was recalled a while back because of a strangulation hazard, however the news ones have these plastic wire guide that prevents this. Completly worth it

A tool comes with it (the big hook) to tighten your woven loops - we haven't had any problems with this if you tighten it up every few lines. Hope this helps!
