Wonderful. Gosh, you do such beautiful work!

Try: ZUNDT

The "B" is backwards and I can't understand the name of the design that sounds like "Vundt" when you spell it. Which thread breaks, so I know what NOT to buy?

G'Day Susan, Thank you for the "You Beaut Bonza" advice on the towels. I've got some of the water soluable stabilizer, now here's a dumb question for you. What do I do with the stabilizer after I've embroidered over it? Where do you get your designs from? I've just bought some from Ebay, but I don't have the Reader/Writer & Adaptor yet.

Oh, but I should have mentioned that a lot of people put water soluable stabilizer on top when they do towels so the embroidery doesn't sink into the nap. But, I haven't done big towels - just the small fingertip towels. So, if there is a high nap on the towel you might want to do it.

Meaning, if you tap on the towel after it's hooped it should make kind of a drum sound. Btw, I also say "for crying out loud". lol
Did you use anything to stabilize the embroidering? Or a material to protect the back of the stitches?

@MrsAChery It's been so long since I did that embroidery I can't say for sure just what I did. If I had to guess I would say I might have hooped a light cutaway along with the bag. But I've never put anything behind the embroidery to protect the stitches. Those are Zundt designs which are always very, very dense, so that's why my guess is that because it was denim, which is already pretty stable, I likely only used a lightweight cutaway as stabilizer.

Dear Susan, I love your designs they are very nice out of curiousity who did you use for threads?and did your threads break because of the needle or because of the thread being bad?

It's been awhile since I did that bag but I'm guessing I probably used Sulky thread since that's what thread I have most of. And I can't remember for sure whether I had many thread breaks but I've had good luck with Sulky thread so I would say probably not. Glad you like how the bag turned out! I'm working on an in-the-hoop purse right now and hope to post the video when I get finished so keep coming back to my channel to see!
