I did play with some water soluble stabilizer back in the 1980s. It was fairly primitive, and my sewing machine wasnât really an embroidery machine. I suppose the stabilizer may have improved, and a machine specifically for embroidery would also make a difference. Interesting, in any case. I still think âwhy on earth bother to learn all that stuff about managing a machine when you can just learn to manage the bobbins themselvesâ. Much as I enjoy computers as tools, I canât say that Iâm in love with them. I love bobbins, and I am in love with making lace by hand. That is the complexity that has me hooked.
