Stabilizers - Singer SE9150 Instruction Manual

Stabilizers

Tear-Away Stabilizers
Tear-away stabilizers are used with stable woven fabrics. Hoop
with the fabric when embroidering. Tear away excess stabilizer
after stitching.
Iron-on Tear-Away
Iron-on tear-away is a more stable stabilizer that has a slick
side that will iron on to fabric. It is recommended for knits
and all unstable fabrics. Fuse it to the wrong side of the fabric
before hooping. Tear away excess stabilizer after stitching.
Cut-Away Stabilizer
Cut-away stabilizer does not tear so the excess has to be cut
away. It is recommended for hoop embroidery on knits and all
unstable fabrics.
Water Soluble Stabilizer
Water soluble stabilizer is placed on top of the fabric when em-
broidering napped and looped fabrics such as terry cloth. When
embroidering cutwork, use it underneath the fabric. Place your
work in water to dissolve the excess stabilizer. It is available in
different thicknesses.
Heat Soluble Stabilizer
Disintegrating stabilizer is a stable, loosely woven fabric that
is used for techniques such as cutwork and to embroider off the
fabric edge. The stabilizer disappears with heat.
Sticky Stabilizer
Sticky stabilizer is used for hoop embroidery when the fabric is
too delicate or too small to be hooped. Hoop the sticky stabiliz-
er with the paper side up. Remove the paper and stick the fabric
onto the sticky surface. Tear away sticky stabilizer
