Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/2/749.html#000002 I have a few suggestions However all of this really depends upon your stitch count and density You certainly do not want any backing to remain. You may be able to simmply use a tearaway or another possibility might be the no show nylon mesh trimmed very closely. Other suggestions : We make a product that you may want to use esp of you get any shredding on the satin Cloud Cover Stitch was originally developed to arrest any fraying on satin and silk It is soft sheer, drapable and totally non directional , so you will still need a stabilizer - a tearaway It is also used to cover the back of scratchy stitches - good for the pantiesand bras. For the lace I would suggest using a fibrous non woven called "washaway" aka other names w our distributors It dissolves very easily in room temp water You do not have to immerse it in water- A few drops and you will see it dissipate ecxcept under the stitches it will become entangled with your threads and the fibers of your item to be embroidered As always pls e-mail me off list if you want samples Sincerely Fred =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
