embroider over ready torn long cloth

I am now trying to embroider over some torn cloth parts , i can`t
embroider before the tearing as it must stay on the cloth , but it is
rather complicated ,, but it is coming along . mirjam

I would stabilize the fabric by basting muslin on the wrong side, then do
the embroidery as you wish. When you are done, just take out the basting
then trim the muslin close to the stitching. Another option would be to
back the torn fabric with a tear-away stabilizer (like that which is used
for machine embroidery). That way, you just tear away the excess and the
stabilizer will help keep your embroidery from pulling out.

HTH!

Thank you Elizabeth !!!
I tried it but than the embroidery went through the muslin ,,,,and it
came out wrong ,,,, will have to swcratch my mind and find other
solutions ,,,,,,like putting over a metal ruler and stabilizing parts
with Rubber rings , works best of all systems ,,,
ps i also do not want to cover the `other side` it has to stay open
!!! thank you again for trying to help.

How about water soluble stabilizer? I realize that may be a bit of a
pain to stitch through. But you can let it soak for 10 minutes or so and
it will be completely gone. This also won't work if you are using any
floss that will run.

Thank you Elizabeth so do i , and in the mean time the work progresses
, as a matter of fact in it`s present situation it is a wonderful
`carry around` work , competing with my moebious....
i just wrap it on a book or something and go on with the work . Which
