Great video! Thank you. I wish you would do more videos. I do embroidery but want to expand to another medium. This is as very helpful.

Such a great video Amanda! Thank you!! (Side note: popsicle coozie?!?! mind blown)

For the embroidery hoop, you can use masking tape to thicken it up so it fits the clamp or put something on it then tape it to thicken it.

I am getting ready to make my wedding koozies. I have the wooden frames, does the hinge work for those? And secondly, do you have to do one side of the koozie let it dry and then heat press it to make it stay?

Thank you!

Thank you so much. Do you nor ever run into any problem applying ink through two screens instead of just using one?

[@amandaadcock9411]

As long as the screen is tight and the stencil is held in place well, I have never had an issue. If the stencil comes loose, it may cause an issue with the ink running under the design.

Where did you get the screen and the clamp

[@amandaadcock9411]

I ordered both straight from Amazon. The clamps are speedball brand and the screen is just an off brand.

Love it. Does the stencil lose it's stickiness the more you wash and reuse?

[@amandaadcock9411]

Yes, they do lose their adhesive over time. However, it does not necessarily need adhesive to be used overtop of a framed silk screen as long as it is taped tight. You can also use spray adhesive (painted on so you do not get it in the design area) to make it sticky again.
