Roland,
Thanks again. You have been so helpful. I'm getting ready to try it now.
I'll see if I can get the stocking to cooperate by being turned inside out.
It sounds like that might work. It would sure beat taking it apart! I'll see
how it goes on test fabric.
I have the slimline clamps. I am guessing that is similar to, if not the
same as, the speed frame.

I use walk stitch to create a 'border' around the entire area, almost
like a 'balloon' outline. The only time I do individual letters is on
the giant stockings where the letters are far apart-but on regular
stockings just outline the 'whole thing' about 1/8" outside all of it
and don't worry about going 'up' the legs of H, N,M, etc.-just ignore
that and it will look fine.
Most fabric shops should have remnants of fake fur you can play with.
