Can’t Fail
I can’t fail if I don’t try.
I had met my local effort this morning by cleaning the bathroom. Studio . . . be ware.
I tried out a design pattern with the embroidery module this forenoon. Sometimes if I don’t keep my hand in it, I forget what stabilizer works well with what. That was the case this morning. I was so confident that a sticky stabilizer would work with my terry towel to hold it nicely in place.
Hmm. The design stitched out without a glitch. Taking the terry towel off of the sticky stabilizer, I dang near pulled off all of the loo0ps that make a terry towel a terry towel. I settled down and decided to take my time to work a sharp knife under the stabilizer pushing and freeing the loops as I went. What a huge lesson.
I was determined. I hooped up another try. The only thing in the hoop was water soluble stabilizer. I laid the terry towel on top and used long stick pins to attach the towel to the stabilizer. I then ran a basting thread around the perimeter of the hoop using my fingers to assist in keeping the towel flat. It worked out just fine. Whatever stabilizer couldn’t be cut away from the back, dunking in warm water will take care of the rest.
The photo is actually of the “Bunnies” that I picked the sticky stabilizer off of. No warn, no foul . . . just plenty of patience. I have some hand towels coming in brown. Who doesn’t like brown bunnies. Today was a testament that if you don’t use it . . . it can be lost.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
