Iron-On Interfacing; Paper-Backed Adhesive Stabilizer; Water Soluble Stabilizer - Bernette Chicago 7 Instruction Manual

Iron-on interfacing

Iron-on interfacings are available in a variety of weights. Iron-
on interfacings should be selected to suit the material being
used. Use an iron-on interfacing which is easily removable
from the material.
• Iron-on interfacings are pressed (fused) to the wrong
side of the material
Application:
– To provide body and shape for the materials onto
which designs will be placed, use the appropriate
stabilizer.

Paper-backed adhesive stabilizer

• Place stabilizer in hoop, paper side up.
• Use a pointed object (e.g. scissors) to score the paper.
• Remove paper to reveal the self-adhesive surface.
– The self-adhesive surface reveals.
• Position the material to be embroidered on the stabi-
lizer and smoothen the area.
Application:
Intended for delicate materials such as jersey or silk
–
etc.
– For hard-to-hoop parts and materials.

Water soluble stabilizer

Water soluble stabilizers look like plastic wrap. Dissolve stabi-
lizer in warm water when the embroidery is complete. Water
soluble stabilizers are ideal protection for materials with a
thick or looped pile such as toweling. This prevents the
threads from sinking into the material and prevents the mate-
rial from showing through the embroidery stitches.
• Place on top of the material.
• Place all the layers together into the embroidery hoop.
• Use adhesive spray to fix stabilizer if necessary.
• For material with a pile, reinforce with additional, suit-
able stabilizer on the wrong side.
• After dissolving lay the design down flat and let dry.
Application:
Ideal for toweling, velvet, bouclé etc.
–
Ideal for fine, sheer materials such as organdy,
–
batiste, etc.
For lace embroidery.
–
Make sure that the adhesive residue on needle, stitch plate
and hook area is removed.
For lace embroidery place one or two layers of water soluble
stabilizer in hoop (as the design is not embroidered on any
material, only the thread embroidered design is left). Embro-
idery designs must be combined with short stitches other-
wise the individual designs may fall out.
