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
zWe recommend the stabilizer material for
embroidery. Use a water soluble stabilizer
on thin materials like organdy and fabrics
with a nap like towels.
Note
zAlways use stabilizer material for
embroidery with stretch fabrics, thin fabrics,
fabrics with a loose weave and fabrics where
stitches easily contract.
CAUTION
aPrepare stabilizer material that is larger than
the embroidery frame being used.

bIf you are using stabilizers with adhesive, place
the adhesive surface of the stabilizer material
against the back of the fabric, and iron it with
a steam iron.

cAttached surface
When it cannot be ironed or placed in the
hoop.
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 it on the
embroidery frame without attaching it.

●Always use stabilizer material when

sewing 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 be sewn incorrectly.
