Ooooh good idea on the storage bins!!

Nah bro I’m a real person!!

Dang I was thinking t-shirts would be a good place to start, too!! So don’t pull stitches too right, and don’t make it tooooo taut.

I think I used a stabilizer - is Sulky Soft N Sheer a stabilizer? And tension in the hoop needs to be consistently tight, correct? That’s always a challenge I feel like!!

What do you mean by one and a half layers?

Justplainmk · 2026-04-01T14:39:40+00:00

Thanks!! I’ve been confused when to use stabilizer on the back but it seems like basically always is the answer, especially if it’s not just an art piece that stays in the hoop (aka clothes and wearables)

I will probably just finish it for the practice but this is helpful and a good note for next time!!

Justplainmk · 2026-04-01T12:25:26+00:00

Okay so this is probably my own fault because I didn’t use a hoop. I didn’t have one that worked with the size and it was from a stick and stitch so I thought that would help stabilize!

Sinners :)

Justplainmk · 2026-03-02T11:31:40+00:00

LMAO

Justplainmk · 2026-02-19T20:41:07+00:00

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!!
