As a very general rule One layer of a 1.5 oz fusible "no show" embossed nylon mesh should hold approx 6-8,000 stitches of a medium density stitch count. (Some out there like "soft and sheer" or "weblon" are not as stable and are only 1.3 ozs.) If you need to do more stitches - 2 layers cross patterned will give you a very stable field into which you could put 20-25,000 stitches. Please feel free to e-mail me off list if you want samples Sincerely Fred Fred Lebow Floriani Embroidery Sewing and Quilting Products Commercial Division 406 854-2322 flebow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.rnkdistributing.com =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list =========================================================== =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
