Denim
Canvas, denim, twill, duck cloth and many types of 'pack cloths" fit into this category. These are
generally easy to embroider and don't require a lot of stabilizer because the fabric itself is fairly stable.
Beware that many denims now have a little bit of Lycra added for stretch. Most denims will not be
hooped due to thickness of fabric.
Fabric Thickness: Medium to Heavy
Fabric Stretch: Light to a lot of stretch (check for Lycra content )
Needle Size: Size 11 or 14 embroidery needle

Fake Fur
It is usually recommended that any fur type fabric not be hooped. Hooping a self-adhesive stabilizer is
the most common way to adhere the fabric, keeping it flat for embroidery. To embroider on any fur a
topping of water soluble stabilizer is used to keep the pile from showing through the embroidery.
