Terri,
The reason for adding stabilizer to the fabric is not necessarily to thicken
it but more so to make it more stable. My definition of a stable fabric is
one that is not stretchy, will tear or move when pulled to the side with a
taught strand of thread. Sometimes thicker fabric comes in handy when doing
small letters because it gives the small stitches something to hold on to.

This time I used 2 layers of the fusible mesh, 15 cm hoop, keyboard
lettering (Cooper, .28 height, upper & lower case letters, 4.5 density, no
underlay, 130% pull comp, no short stitches, stitch length 20 pt.; pressure
foot all the way down, auto actifeed) It sewed just fine, however, before
unhooping, checked the tautness - much too loose. The fabric is not pushing
on the stabilizer as it sews. It's both the material and stabilizer since
they are adhered to one another that is becoming flexible as it sews.
Have another question, does one always have to make the fabric and
stabilizer as thick as I just did?
