Mar 12, 2012 - You'll find this post at several Linky Parties. Please check them out for some great ideas. This post featured @ I quickly found out when I do small, simple embroidery work on my machine, I'm wasting a lot of tearaway stabilizer. So, I decided to piece the leftovers and try using it again. It worked! I had bought a roll of tearaway stabilizer to back towels & other heavy fabrics. Using up a little piece out of the center seemed so wasteful. I cut away larger sections. Overlap the pieces to make a flat seam. I first thought I would need a zigzag stitch for reinforcement, but found out a straight stitch works well. While the embroidery machine is busy, I hop on the old machine and stitch these pieces together according to the size of hoop I'll be using. I used white thread. I suppose you could use clear or water soluble thread. If I'd paid attention, I could have avoided embroidering over this stitch line. If you do embroidery over stitch lines, you only need to snip the stitch. This is another reason it's a good idea to use a straight stitch. The single stitch did not show in the embroidery at all even though it was white thread because this is on the backside of the embroidery. I was able to use this piece again. Now do I dare continue piecing? Maybe for my "cuff" hoop?
