Embroidery
• Stabilizer
Stabilizer for embroidery is available in a variety of
types and weights.
Stabilizer should be attached to the wrong side of
fabric. (Mote than one layer may be required.)
The non-adhesive stabilizer should be used with fabric
which cannot be ironed or on sections which are
difficult to iron. For both types, cut the stabilizer larger
than the embroidery frame and set it on the frame so
that the entire piece is fastened in it.
Selection of stabilizer:
To obtain perfectly formed letters, it is important to
use the correct stabilizer:
■■ Use for stretch
fabric, thin fabric
and shrinkable
fabric.
■■ Use for firm
fabrics and fabrics
which cannot be
ironed.
Note:
In embroidery sewing, the foot control is not used.
Use the start/stop button.
