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 lay 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.
