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 water-soluble stabilizer sheet placed
on the right side of the fabric.
