I have a Pfaff. My husband wants me to embroider his initials onto the cuff of his dress shirts. I have no idea how to do this. The machine has three different hoops. I have the largest and the smallest. Do you even need stabilizer with this, since it is so thick? I've only had the machine for two months and am overwhelmed. Thanks for any help I can get.
