Adhesive Spray

► please avoid using adhesive spray next to your embroi-

► for more stability, spray the stabilizer and adhere to the

25cm - 30cm (9.8 inches to 11.8 inches)
Application:
► stretch and knitted material: to retain shape
► appliqué: position appliqués perfectly
► two or more pieces of fabric: avoid slipping of fabric
layers
► fabric pieces: position fabric pieces on stabilizer, i.e.
pocket flaps
► napped fabrics (i.e. velvet) that should not be clamped
in the hoop because of the possibility of getting hoop
marks

woven fabrics

with a warm iron
► always use an additional stabilizer such as water
soluble stabilizer on the wrong side of the fabric
