Creating beautiful embroidery
Refer to the table below and the FABRIC/THREAD/NEEDLE COMBINATIONS table on page 19 when selecting the appropriate fabric, thread and needle for creating attractive embroidery. Pattern slippage may occur when using fabric of different thicknesses or when using different types of stabilizers. Be sure to sew a test embroidery beforehand.

Attaching stabilizer material
Using stabilizer material is an important part of creating attractive embroidery. It is particularly important when embroidering stretch fabrics, thin fabrics, and fabrics with coarse weaves. If necessary, two layers of stabilizer material may be attached.
Before embroidering, iron the stabilizer material onto the back of the fabric. Use stabilizer material with an area that is larger than the frame, and make sure that all sides of the stabilizer material are securely clamped in the frame. When embroidering fabrics that cannot be ironed, or in places where ironing is difficult, place the stabilizer material underneath the frame before embroidering.
For slick or slippery fabric, use one or two layers of stabilizer material clamped in the frame on the wrong side of the fabric. In addition, embroider over a
