Ever try to embroider on really thin fabric like Organdy? I was attempting to machine embroider on Organdy for a new Christening Gown I have designed, but was having difficulty keeping it taut in the hoop. After quite a few trials and errors, and searching for info on the internet, I found a new technique. Organdy is fairly stiff fabric but very, very sheer and thin, so it slips easily in the hoop. I solved this problem by using a thin layer of rubber drawer liner cut out like a frame to go between the organdy and the top hoop. This holds the organdy very nicely.

This photo shows one on the right that was done without the rubber sheet, one on the left with the sheet, much neater.

In this photo you can see how the frame of rubber fits into the hoop.
