Stabilizers
To create the best quality embroidery, it is important to
use stabilizers.
How to use:
Attach the stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric.
You may need to use more than one layer.
For firm fabrics, you may place a thin paper under the
fabric.
The non-adhesive type should be used when embroider-
ing fabric which cannot be ironed or for sections which
are difficult to iron.
Cut the stabilizer larger than the embroidery hoop and
set it on the hoop so that the entire piece is fastened with
the hoop to prevent any looseness in the fabric.
Attaching the stabilizer
Place the wrong side of fabric and the glossy side of the
stabilizer together. Fold up a corner of the stabilizer and
fuse it with an iron.
NOTES:
Fold up a corner of the stabilizer, to make it easier to peel
off the excess stabilizer after stitching.
Ironing temperatures vary depending on the kind of
adhesive stabilizer you are using.
