Spray starch for additional stiffening
• spray starch is ideal for stiffening fine, soft or loosely woven fabrics
• spray the area to be embroidered, let dry or press gently with a
warm iron
• always use an additional stabilizer such as water soluble stabilizer on
the wrong side of the fabric
Application:
• ideal for fine, loosely woven fabrics, e.g. batiste, fine linen, etc.
Water soluble stabilizer for fabric with a pile and lace
embroidery
• water soluble stabilizer looks like plastic wrap
• dissolve stabilizer in warm water when embroidery is complete
•
water soluble stabilizers are ideal protection for fabrics with a thick
or looped pile such as toweling. It also prevents the embroidery
threads from sinking into the fabric or the fabric threads from poking
out between the stitching
• place on top of toweling and high nap fabrics backed by appropriate
stabilizer for fabric and motif
• use spray adhesive to fix stabilizer if necessary
• for fabric with a pile, reinforce with additional, suitable stabilizer on
the wrong side if necessary
• for lace embroidery place one or two layers of water soluble
stabilizer in hoop (as the motif is not embroidered on any fabric, only
the thread embroidered motif is left)
• after dissolving lay the motif down flat and let dry
• water soluble stabilizer can also be removed by gently tearing it away
when used as a topping on non-washable fabrics like velvet
Application:
• ideal for toweling, velvet, bouclé knits, etc.
• ideal for fine, sheer fabrics such as organdy, batiste, etc.
• recommended for use as a stabilizer with low stitch count motifs
• use heavier water soluble stabilizer to stitch lace motifs
Important embroidery information
Choosing an embroidery motif
• simple motifs with a low stitch count are suitable for embroidery on
fine fabric
• large-scale, densely embroidered motifs (e.g. with multiple color and
embroidery direction changes) are suitable for medium- and
heavyweight fabrics
Embroidery test
• always stitch an embroidery test on a sample fabric. Adjust color,
thread quality, needle, stitch density, tension, etc. to suit the motif if
necessary
• for the test use the same fabric and stabilizer that you will use on
the project
