I embroider on bamboo fabrics frequently. I use a fusible web (that Fred Lebowe creates) and one tearaway floater. Never have problems. Bamboo takes longer to dry and defintely needs ironing after every washing. Also, check your density and tension settings so that the thread "lays" on the fabric and use sharp needles. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
