Re: Venting Thread!
(Anonymous) 2025-12-29 02:07 am (UTC)(link)I have a feeling it’s extra thick and super cheap cutaway stabilizer that’s bothering OP. It could also be broken thread if the embroiderer bought their fonts for $2-3 each from any random Etsy shop. I see that happen a lot. I don’t understand why anyone would buy from a rando when Artapli and DBJJ are such high quality yet so so reasonably priced (and they all come with BX!). Name dropping aside, I’ve seen a lot of terrible work proudly posted before shipping and it makes me want to scream every time. Customers don’t know any better, they just pick the person they know or the shop offering the lowest price not understanding that it means Brothread and no name stabilizer to stitch out poorly digitized fonts or designs. (I actually adore Brothread but for my own projects; I use Florani or Madeira for projects I gift to others).
Anyway. It could be one or more of a few things so I was curious to see if trimming the stabilizer would help or maybe tack stitching some Tender Touch.

(Anonymous) 2025-12-29 07:17 am (UTC)(link)I've always been very careful about what I use for sale products vs. personal, but I also have few scenarios where the embroidery wouldn't be enclosed within a garment lining of some kind. The out-there exposed interfacing and stitch is definitely the lazy-man's product, not that I haven't gotten it from quickie products before but that was easily back in the 90s when we didn't have options like we do now. Back when Fray-Tac was used everywhere even though it left razor-sharp edges and discolored fabric!
