USING FABRIC AND STABILIZER
FABRIC
Stabilizer is a non-woven substance. There are a variety of
stabilizers available: tear-away, cut-away, wash-away and
those that are removed by applying heat. Which stabilizer
you choose will depend on the nature of the fabric on which
you are embroidering. Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on how to use and apply the stabilizer correctly.
Generally, the stabilizer should be larger in size than the hoop
with which it is being used. When embroidery is completed,
use a fine point scissor to carefully remove any excess
stabilizer from the embroidery area.
STABILIZER
Use stabilizer to produce best results when embroidering.

cotton can pull in when being embroidered. This can result

around the embroidery area.
¿ Stretch fabrics may stretch or distort when tightening
the hoop, and the result may be uneven embroidery.
Furthermore, when the fabric is removed from the hoop

cause the embroidered pattern to become distorted.
Embroidery can be applied to many types of fabrics, but it may
be necessary to prepare these fabrics in a special manner.
* Fabrics with a loopy or napped surface such as towels, use
a water soluble stabilizer both on the underside and on the
topside of the fabric.
* Denim and linen are considered unstable because of the
loose weave, use a medium weight cut-away stabilizer on the
EDFNVLGH
* T-shirt type fabric usually requires at least one, sometimes
two layers of soft mesh-type cut-away stabilizer on the
EDFNVLGH
* For medium to heavyweight stable woven fabric, use a
medium to heavy weight tear-away type stabilizer.
* For soft or sheer fabrics, use a rinse-away type stabilizer.
