Arranging Embroidery Designs (Layout & Editing) Embroidering large-size embroidery design (custom size) I Attaching stabilizer to the fabric Stabilizer must always be used when embroidering to stabilize the fabric. There are many types of stabilizer; the type that you will use depends on the type of fabric that you are embroidering on. For large-size designs that are split into sections, the stabilizer must be adhered to the fabric, for example, by using iron-on stabilizer, sticky stabilizer or spray adhesive. When using spray adhesive, spray the adhesive onto a hooped piece of stabilizer that is strong enough for the entire large-size embroidery. In some cases, you may need to use two pieces of stabilizer for your embroidery. a Note: • For best results, attach the stabilizer to the fabric (as described on this page). Without the correct stabilizer, the design may become misaligned due to puckering in the fabric. • Be sure to check the recommendations on the stabilizer package. I Marking the embroidering position Using the template for the size of hoop that you are using, mark the embroidering position on the fabric. b Memo: • The templates are included in the package. • The templates are also in the Template folder and can be printed out with a printer. • Template PDF files have been described within actual size completely.
