I need help! DDIL asked me to attach a name to a plush Xmas sock. The sock is *cheap* red plush with pile almost 1/4" that lies to one side. I have embroidered the name on a piece of white knit fabric, probably sweatshirt fabric. I embroidered with the fuzzy side out.
The problem is that when I lay the piece on the sock cuff it walks to one side. When I try to pin it goes woppyjawed, ditto if I try hand basting. The name piece is about 2.5" x 5". I used tearaway behind the name, then trimmed away the excess. Seems now that I ought to have left it so the d** piece might not move all over the place!
Any ideas? I can redo the name and leave the tearaway, of course, if someone thinks that will solve the problem. I was ready to throw the sock away and make a new one of some better fabric; not sure this would please the DIL.
TIA, Jean M.
