VIDEO: Machine Embroidery Applique The ATW Way!
(Reposted From 7/14/06)

Using Embroidery Stabilizer As A Coffee Filter
-- Holly Pike
I decided this morning to make a pot of coffee using embroidery stabilizer instead of a coffee filter. It didn't come out quite right and I'm wondering if I should have used cutaway instead of tearaway? Or maybe "Totally Stable" but I was concerned about the amount of glue I'd end up with in my coffee if I went that route! So I had one more idea and . . . Continue...
