Supplies for embroidering

Ali, check out JoJo's blog on embroidery Tutorial. She has some interesting info.
For anyone else, just to say that I ordered from Ali's site in the evening, and the goods were delivered the day after next. That was in the snow and bad weather! Brilliant service!

For those who were interested in the project 'In-the-hoop' towel toppers, here is a link to the site. They loads of designs, videos, how to, and techniques.

OOps, also nearly forgot, they have freebies as well!!!

Can anyone suggest a good cut away and tear away stabiliser? Ideally available in UK? The tear away I have been using is a Maderia soft cotton, tears so well that is does it before the embroidery finished, well around the edges done in satin stitch!!!!!
Thanks
Lynn

Hi Folks
An update on the Magna Glide bobbins. I have tried them out and they are brill!!!!!!!! Have loads of thread on them so they are not expensive and they fit the Bernina 630! :lol:
Just about to start QU lesson on Embroidering on Patchwork, so am looking forward to that, it will be the first sewing done in a month!
Hope you all well
Lynn

Great stuff Lynn!

Does your 630 not have the 'eye' in the bobbin case? I sew on long enough without bobbin thread when the machine tells me it's run out let alone without being told it has! :roll:

Yes Amanda, it doies have the eye! but the magna glide bobbins stop the 'back spin' so you dont get birds nesting and loops on the top. Thanks for the site, will check it out.
