I am looking for the name of the thin rubber sheets that R.V owners use to stop the crockery moving about whilst in transit. I do not have a sample to show anyone, but perhaps if I had its name, I may be able to locate it here in Spain. I want to use this to stop silk from slipping in the embroidery frame.

Any suggestions of what do I do to stop the embroidery frame crushing velvet, whilst I stitch out a design, which takes about 2 hours

Velvet or any fabric with a pile. Do not crush this in a hoop. Hoop cutaway stabilizer, spray with fabric adhesive and smooth the fabric onto this. Works like a charm. Be sure to use a topper to keep the pile in place while stitching.

For silk, I use a lightweight iron-on cutaway on the fabric and hoop stickyback paper. I smooth the stabilized fabric onto this.

The fabric stays still and smooth. I get perfect results every time. These methods are also good for towels and fleece and be sure to use a topper.

I do not like to hoop any thick fabric by squashing it between the two hoops. It is difficult to do and may lead to hoop distortion.

Try this web site for info. on hooping etc. Emblibrary.com--go to projects and follow the links to Kenny's Korner.

It is called grip liner I found it in Wilkinsons here in England. I have used devilscats method for towels and fleece, and also have used a basting stitch and used the hoopless method for towels and fine fabric. I use water soluble stabiliser on the top of the fabric so the stitches don't disappear into the pile.

It is commonly know as Scoot Guard, Slip-guard. Found at some chain fabric stores, Wal-marts (RV dept.) and of course, RV parts stores.

The liner can also be found in the kitchen section in walmarts. The one I am thinking of can be used to line cupboards. It is sold in small rolls.
