Tom, I just embroidered fleece blankets for a grand opening in royal blue. Because I wanted the back to look as good as possible, I wanted the bobbin thread to match. Couldn't do that, used black instead. Tried super-solvy backing and solvy topping, didn't like that and ended up with black tearaway-washaway and solvy on top. The blankets were fine but I'm picky and still wished for blue bobbin thread. jo --- Tom D'Auria <lastczar@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Folks - > > I've just been asked to embroider some throws. > I'm looking for some guidance on backing, > hooping, and anything else I should watch out for > before I begin.
