• Stabilizer

Stabilizer for embroidery is available in a variety of types and weights.

Stabilizer should be attached to the wrong side of fabric. (Mote than one layer may be required.)

The non-adhesive stabilizer should be used with fabric which cannot be ironed or on sections which are difficult to iron. For both types, cut the stabilizer larger than the embroidery frame and set it on the flame so that the entire piece is fastened in it.

Selection of stabilizer:

To obtain perfectly formed letters, it is important to use the correct stabilizer:

*Adhesive type (iron-on) .......... Use for stretch fabric, thin fabric and shrinkable fabric.

*Non-adhesive type ................. Use for firm fabrics and fabrics

which cannot be ironed.

Note:

In embroidery sewing, the foot control is not used.

Use the start/stop button.
