gin, but do not cut. Cut the linen after the embroidery. Cutting the panels after the embroidery allows for easier hooping with the extra fabric along all sides.

Apply a scrap of stabilizer, such as the corner of the Stabil-Stick Stabilizer into the hoop, where the design will draw. Test the pen, and stop the machine before the pen draws off of the scrap stabilizer.
