The Solar System @ BFC !

~~~~~~~~~TIP~~~~~~~~~ Some regular stabilizers (not water soluble of those that are applied with water) can shrink and cause your embroidery to pucker when the item is steam pressed or washed. To see if yours shrinks, cut a square and measure it. Then give it a good pressing with a lot of steam. When dry measure again. If there is a difference, be sure to steam and press that particular stabilizer before you hoop. I have also found some mesh iron on stabilizers can shrink. I always give these a shot of steam (holding iron above, not touching) before I iron them on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW DESIGNS: All new designs are on INTRODUCTORY PRICING (except fun sets) and all have FREE SAMPLES.

Well, that certainly was the best hint I've read in a while. The last thing I embroidered was on a sweat shirt and the darn thing puckered like crazy after I had washed it (hung the darn thing to dry too). I also had preshrunk the shirt first so it shouldn't have been a problem. I will now be checking my stabilizer prior to using it.

Thanks

Happy that it might help someone. :) We have experienced that as well and it can be so frustrating after putting all of that time into a project. Thanks and happy stitching, Kerrie
