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 optional stabilizer
material for embroidery. Use a water soluble
sheet on thin materials like organdy and
fabrics with a nap like towels.
To obtain optional accessories or parts, visit

CAUTION
aPrepare stabilizer material that is larger than

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 the
fabric in the embroidery frame without
attaching the stabilizer.

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.
