Stabilizers

All embroidery needs some form of stabilizer that can be

easily removed. Use a stabilizer appropriate to the fabric

and project. Common forms of stabilizer for embroidery

sewing are fusible, adhesive, tear-away, heat-away or

wash-away.

The fusible type is recommended for stretch fabrics and

fabrics that might shrink. Adhesive type is great for

velvets or other napped fabrics that would be damaged if

secured in the hoop. The non adhesive types should be

used when embroidering fabric which cannot be ironed

or for areas which are difficult to iron.

Most stabilizers should be used on the wrong side of

fabric. More than one layer may be required. Wash-away

stabilizer may be placed on top of fabrics like toweling so

the loops lie flat under the embroidery.

For any type of stabilizer, prepare a piece larger than the

embroidery hoop and place it in the hoop so that the

entire piece can be fastened within.
