EMBROIDERY
Preparing the Fabric
After attaching a stabilizer material to the embroidery fabric, it is stretched on an embroidery frame.
Attaching a stabilizer
material to the fabric
For successful design stitching and to prevent fabric
puckering around the design, iron fusible stabilizer to
the fabric or place non-fusible stabilizer in the hoop
below the fabric.
Memo
There are many types of backing and
topping stabilizers with various weights for
the various fabrics that you may be sewing.
Visit your local retailer to find the stabilizer
that is right for your project.
CAUTION
● Always use stabilizer material when
sewing embroidery projects. The needle
may break or bend if you embroider
without using a stabilizer material for thin
fabrics or stretch fabrics. Furthermore,
the pattern may be sewn incorrectly.

For fabrics, such as towels, which cannot be
ironed or for embroidering in places where
ironing is difficult, place the stabilizer
material under the fabric, and stretch the
fabric in the embroidery frame without
attaching the stabilizer.
