I'll have to find my butterfly - on silk gauze - worked in a hoop and
load up the jpg. I didn't need any stabilizer. The organdy was stiff
enough. This is so interesting how we all approach projects and how
different people react to different fibers.

Have you tried the soluble stabilizer that Sulky (I think) makes? I used it
to do some surface embroidery on silk gauze for a class project and it
worked quite well. I used the medium weight, drew my design on a piece, and
layered it in my hoop, stabilizer with design, fabric, stabilizer. It was a
little like embroidering on dried Elmer's glue, but when the stabilizer was
disolved, there were no pulls or problems with the design.
