Stabilizers

–Use stabilizers to create beautiful embroider without puck- ering or poor stitch conformation. Iron-on Stabilizers are recommended especially for lightweight fabrics and/or stretchable fabrics. For certain fabrics you might wish to use a thick stabilizer or two layers of stabilizer.

2 Fabric

*We recommend Brother Iron-on stabilizers that can be torn off after you're finished.

–Use a stabilizer that is larger than the size of the hoop so that the entire stabilizer can be hooped with the cloth as shown in the diagram.

This is to prevent the fabric from sagging.

–When embroidering heavyweight fabrics or fabrics that cannot be ironed, you can use the stabilizers by placing them under the cloth without actually attaching it.
