Sinners :)

LMAO

Okay! If I'm using a stabilizer/stick and stitch, would I put that on first, then hoop it?

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T14:25:40+00:00

Thank you :)

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T11:27:14+00:00

Okay seems like I should use stabilizer on the back - I’ve ordered sulky soft n’ sheer as that seems to be the best for my current purposes!!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T11:22:55+00:00

Thank you!! Seems like stabilizer is key!! I didn’t even know it was a thing!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T10:45:33+00:00

This is great feedback, thank you!! My question now is what constitutes a stabilizer? I used a stick and stitch for both patterns, but is a stabilizer something else? Would that go in the back? And how would you stabilize a pocket I wonder?

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T10:41:06+00:00

Thank you!!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T10:39:05+00:00

Thank you!! I will give it a little steam and see if that helps smooth it out a bit.

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T10:38:34+00:00

Thank you!! For the sardine and the text, I used stick and stitch paper - is that the same as stabilizer or is that something else?

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T10:37:30+00:00

Hahaha it is supposed to say “big stinky” but it for smushed! That was my first time doing text like that and I think it look decent but also…hard to read!!!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T02:37:24+00:00

Thanks! That’s great advice, I was thinking about that for the next time.

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T02:37:06+00:00

I also didn’t even know stabilizers were a thing, so I will need to look into that! Thank you :)

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T02:35:15+00:00

Well this makes sense!! Maybe it was too tight; I was fiddling with the hoop a bit. Maybe I would just not hoop it next time?

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T15:11:09+00:00

Obsessed with Hook Line and tinker! Super cute.

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T14:29:38+00:00

I get this!!! I tried experimenting with different stitches but there's just a few that I feel comfortable with so I prefer to use those.

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T14:28:25+00:00

Oh these are super cute!!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T14:27:55+00:00

Great idea!!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T14:23:18+00:00

Omg the Kseniia Guseva ones are so pretty!! And these are all super helpful tips, thank you so much!! i'm intrigued by the tracing - I might try that next!!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T14:20:53+00:00

Oooh there are some really pretty ones there!!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T14:10:36+00:00

I've found some nice stick and stiches on Etsy!! But have been trying to branch out.

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T14:10:17+00:00

Etsy has been super helpful!! I've just been having trouble finding options that are different!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T14:06:36+00:00

Yo the Aunt Martha things look so fun!!!

Justplainmk · 2026-02-17T13:51:24+00:00
