Do you have to iron this on? How to you get it to stay put? Forgive me, I am new to embroidery.

Hi, don't worry asking questions is how you learn. You simply use an embroidery hoop. These tear away sheets fit 4" x 4" hoops nicely and will hold your project in place.

It seems to stay tacky. I have things that have been sitting almost a year waiting for me to quilt it, and it still pulls apart and can be repositioned. Hope this helps

You need to hold the stitch on the back side. Depending on the seam length you need to hold some excess to weave thru the stitches

I'm not sure about embroidery, they are a little thin and stiff. I heat ironed on little decals, using a towel to keep the heart from melting the apron.

If you use an iron adhesive on the back of the design. You would have to use the fabric cutting blade also. Put the iron on adhesive on the material before you cut it of course maybe spray material with a spray adhestive after cutting it out without the iron on adhesive. If you do this you will need to sew it on the T Shirt as the spray on adhesives (for embroidery or qulting) are usually temporary. Hope this helps

Hi, push the stitch length all the way to the left until you hear a beeping, then immediately move it all the way to the right. I usually adjust the tension on top a little looser also so the basting thread is looser which makes it easier to gather fabric. Remember, every time you turn your machine off, it defaults to the tiny stitch, so you must repeat this step whenever you want to baste.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

Sorry I have the same problem. I'm still trying to figure it out. I might bring it to my seamstriss.

Happy to! Helps tremendously to sew a straight, even seam. Just set it on the needle plate to the right of the needle (the needle plate is the metal piece that the needle goes up and down through the hole and the feed dogs come up under it) place it as far from the needle as you want your line of stitching and it guides the fabric through perfectly as you sew. I absolutely love this thing!!

this can be taped to fabric to hold in place or it can be hooped. Yes you can draw on it but why? When it is washed it washes away. This is a stabilizer for embroidery machines and also used for backing to keep the material from moving and giving it stabilization while being sewed on. Used for light weight materials or materials that move while being sewed on.

I would try sewing it. One of the shoulder straps broke and I sewed it. Now its good but when I can I avoid picking it up with the straps!

Anything with a lot of stretch is not good for iron-on labels. If you iron it on as is, the natural stretching of the fabric will quickly pull the label free, and if you stretch the fabric out when you iron it on, it'll recover and be wrinkled and hard to read. For socks , stretch waist bands, etc., try a black Sharpie on light-colored backgrounds and White Out (pen, not brush) on dark backgrounds. Both are permanent. Or iron the label onto a garment label--but maybe on low heat since most garment labels are synthetic material and can melt under high iron settings. Good luck!

To date, this has not happened. I did add additional padding to the ironing surface. I like the spacial ironing surface andadjustable height. The metal work on the one end seems superfluous; the cord often gets caught on it.

I just heated up my iron and gave it a try just to be sure before answering... No, this is not an iron on product. Also I would say it is a bit heavier than medium and somewhat paper like. I use it for machine embroidery in the hoop. Hope that helps.

the backing irons on. However, i ended up sewing it on as well because there was a spot where it started coming undone a little bit.

No, I wouldn't iron it! Shake them out and just use it. They go away over time, not sure how long, exactly. Mine is smooth now.
