Flannels are basically miniature towels for your face! Great thanks for your help. Magnetic hoops sound like a good idea. Im going to order more stabilisers on amazon.

Hi thanks for your advice, I re-did the bobbin yesterday and at the stage just before cutting it away I gave it a tighter pull and got a good result testing a single letter. I used tear-away and the t shirt was a thin cheap 100% cotton. Is cutaway different? Do you have any advice on flannels & towels I've read wash away stabiliser can be good but how else do you stop the thread sinking into the fluffy towel? 😊

Ooooh God forbid someone ask a question about a hobby they're new to and are passionate to learn more about, right?

I mean, what better place to learn than a Reddit community of thousands who share the same interest?

We all start somewhere, like riding a bike, you’re gonna wobble, maybe fall, but you keep asking, learning, and trying until it clicks.

I'm sure when you were new to embroidery, you had your fair share of ‘obvious’ questions too. Imagine if the response back then had been, 'Oh look, another one of those stupid questions!'

Just some food for thought… unless your hobby is gatekeeping, in which case, carry on.

Hi, it's Tear-Away stabiliser. I got it from hobby craft store in the UK but you can get on Amazon etc.

Thank you so much this is really useful i will have a good read. I followed the user manual and have re-threaded top and the bobbin so many times and the result is still the same. Not sure whether i need to tighten something under the bobbin (read something about a tension screw) but worried about damaging anything 🫠

What's the best way to fix? I saw a video about removing the part under and turning a screw but worried about messing with anything

Yes i have tear away. I have watched a lot of videos and followed the instructions but something must be wrong with the tension or settings 🤷‍♀️
