Crosstitch in a Mega Hoop on the Designer

Nov 14, 2003 2 Replies

Hi Everyone,



I'm wondering if there is any one out there who has attempted to do a large crosstich design on the Designer and used a Mega Hoop. The problam I have is the stitches start out fine and align with each other , but with all the thread changes, and repositioning of the hoop from position 1, 2, 3 the stitches start to not align and the backstitches don't align with the design at the end. I've tried using two layers of Aqua Magic as the stabilizer the first time and hooping the material with it, and the second I used Sulky's Sticky Back with the material in the hoop and a layer of Sulky's Stiffy Tear Away under the hoop. Neither of these worked. Tomorrow, I'm going to try the Sticky Back, and material together in the hoop, with a layer of cut away under the hoop.



I'm asking for any sugestions as to what worked for other's?



Thanks



Marty Jay
