What stabilizer should I use?

Cut the required size piece of fabric, and make sure to cut the fabric larger than your size of the hoop. Using a ruler, draw lines by the center of the fabric to align it with respect to the hoop.
Now hoop the fabric by adjusting the drawn lines with your hoop and attach a cut-away stabilizer with fabric in the hoop.
Now select the cross stitch pattern you want to embroider on the fabric from the machine.
Adjust the stitch size of the cross stitch pattern as it will give a different look if the stitch size is not exactly what you want to draw.
Also, adjust the machine speed, usually kept slower than other embroidery works, to get a perfect and neat look.
NOTE: From our experience, the 75/11 sized sharp needle, 40lb weight of rayon or polyester thread and stitch size of 16 will usually give the best result of cross-stitch embroidery work.
Align the needle, lower it and confirm the dimensions (You can adjust the needle if it’s not in exact position).
Now just give the command to the machine to embroider the design on the fabric. While embroidering, you will see there will be a lot of jump stitches, and crosses will not be exact, but the finished look will be similar to the design you provided.
