Attaching stabilizer to the fabric
Stabilizer must always be used when embroidering
to stabilize the fabric. There are many types of
stabilizer; the type that you will use depends on the
type of fabric that you are embroidering on. For
large-size designs that are split into sections, the
stabilizer must be adhered to the fabric, for
example, by using iron-on stabilizer, sticky stabilizer
or spray adhesive.
When using spray adhesive, spray the adhesive
onto a hooped piece of stabilizer that is strong
enough for the entire large-size embroidery. In
some cases, you may need to use two pieces of
stabilizer for your embroidery.
a
Note:
• For best results, attach the stabilizer to the
fabric (as described on this page). Without
the correct stabilizer, the design may
become misaligned due to puckering in
the fabric.
• Be sure to check the recommendations on
the stabilizer package.

Marking the embroidering position
Using the template for the size of hoop that you are
using, mark the embroidering position on the fabric.
