Embroidery: Topping

I mentioned in my last post that I've been doing piles-o-towels lately. They're the loopy microfiber kind, and I found that the Aqua Film as a topper was making a mess--it kept getting sticky and then my presser foot would drag it all over the place. So I tried something new--using Sulky Ultra Solvy as a topper. Worked wonders--you would swear that it was a completely different stitch count, the results were so much better. So if you're working on something really loopy or with a deep pile, use some Ultra Solvy as your topping--it will make your stitch-out so much better! I'll post a photo of both side by side so you can see the difference.
