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
Attach a stabilizer material for embroidery to the
fabric to prevent poor quality embroidery designs.
Memo
We recommend the stabilizer material for
embroidery. Use a water soluble stabilizer
on thin materials like organdy and fabrics
with a nap like towels.
Note
Always use stabilizer material for
embroidery with stretch fabrics, thin fabrics,
fabrics with a loose weave and fabrics where
stitches easily contract.
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.

a Prepare stabilizer material that is larger than

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 it on the
embroidery frame without attaching it.
