USING THE MATERIAL AND STABILIZER

MATERIAL

Use stabilizer to produce better results when embroidering on the following fabrics or items.

¿Materials which lack firmness or stability such as ligthweight cotton.

¿Thin, soft materials such as hankerchief linens.

Because materials such as this lack firmness or stability, embroidery stitches may pull in, which can result in problems such as shrinkage and puckering of the material around the embroidery area.

¿Stretchy materials

If the material is stretched when it is being tightened in the hoop, the result may be uneven embroidery. Furthermore, when the material is removed from the hoop after embroidery is complete, the material may shrink and cause the embroidered pattern to become distorted.

Embroidery can be applied to many types of fabrics, but it may be necessary to prepare these fabrics in a special manner.

*Materials with a loopy or napped surface such as towels, use a soft mesh cut-away type stabilizer on the backside, along with a rinse-away stabilizer on the topside.

*Denim and linen are considered unstable because of the loose weave, use a medium weight cut-away stabilizer on the backside.

*T-shirt type material usually require at least one, sometimes two layers of soft mesh-type cut-away stabilizer.

*For medium to heavyweight stable woven fabric, use a medium to heavy weight tear-away type stabilizer.

*For soft or sheer fabrics, use a rinse-away type stabilizer.

STABILIZER

Stabilizer is made from non-woven fabric. There are a variety of stabilizers available: tear-away, cut-away and wash-away. Which stabilizer you choose will depend on the nature of the fabric that you are embroidering on. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to use and apply the stabilizer correctly. Generally the stabilizer should be larger in size than the hoop with which it is being used. When embroidery is complete, use a scissor to carefully remove any excess stabilizer from the embroidery area.
