soluble stabilizer under the fabric for techniques like cutwork
when it is important that all stabilizer residue be removed after
stitching. Choose heavy or lightweight water soluble according
your project. Fuse layers together with your iron for even heavi
layers. After stitching, cut away the excess stabilizer and place t

also used to transfer pattern, especially onto dark fabrics. Trace

pattern onto water soluble stabilizer with a fine line permanen
marking pen then tape it to the garment for free motion
