PREPARING THE EMBROIDERY FRAME

Attaching a Stabilizer Material to the Fabric

CAUTION

Always use stabilizer material for embroidery when sewing embroidery projects, espe- cially when embroidering on lightweight or stretch fabrics. Otherwise, the needle may break and cause injury. Not using a stabilizer material may result in a poor finish to your project.

For best results in your embroidery projects, always use stabilizer material for embroidery. To prevent shrinking or other problems, follow the advice below.

1.Always use a stabilizer material for embroidery when sewing stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics, fabrics with a coarse weave, or fabrics which cause pattern shrink- age. Iron the stabilizer material to the back of the fab- ric.

*When using fabrics that can not be ironed (such as towel or fabrics that have loops which expand when ironed), or in places where ironing is difficult, place the stabilizer material under the fabric without attach- ing it, then set the fabric and stabilizer in the embroi- dery frame, or check with your authorized dealer for the correct selection of stabilizer.

Note

For best results, we recommend you use stabilizer material for embroidery. Embroidery stabi- lizer material removes easily after embroidery. Follow stabilizer package instructions.

When embroidering on thin fabrics such as organdy or lawn, or on shaggy fabrics such as towel or corduroy, use water soluble stabilizer material (sold separately) for best results. The water soluble stabilizer material will dissolve completely in water, giving the project a more attractive finish.
