Question 1

I have tried this 3 times and it is shredding under the hoop and stalling the design. The feet are down. Why is the stabilizer shredding?

Accepted Answer

Because you are using tearaway stabilizer. Is this a denser design? Tear away is great for hand stitching and light stitching. "Redwork", etc. However, on more detailed and denser designs (especially the compact ones), you end up sewing yourself holes in the stabilizer and it no longer does its job. I had a lot of issues with this until I found out what was going on. I never have that problem with cut away stabilizer, which is better for garments and holds up better in the wash, too. I very rarely use tearaway because of this issue.

Question 2

How do you use it?  Is it iron-on?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not an iron-on.  I thought I could use it in my 5x7 hoop, but it's too small.  It's large for the 4x4 hoop, so there's a lot of waste.  I actually pieced it together with a zigzag stitch and used it in the 5x7 hoop and it worked.  Overall  I was disappointed.

Question 3

does this work well with the Brother LB6800PRW Project Runway Sewing/Embroidery Machine?

Accepted Answer

This product works perfect for your Brother machine.  I use it all the time on mine.

Question 4

Can this be used for patchwork?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure what you mean, I use  it for applique.  It works fine, but I found it to be heavier than I would like.
