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. For details, refer to
"Optional accessories" (page 7).
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 for
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 not turn out correctly.

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.
