USING FABRIC AND STABILIZER FABRIC Use stabilizer to produce best results when embroidering. ¿ )DEULFVZKLFKODFN¿UPQHVVRUVWDELOLW\VXFKDVOLJKWZHLJKW cotton can pull in when being embroidered. This can result in problems such as shrinkage and puckering of the fabric around the embroidery area. ¿ Stretch fabrics may stretch or distort when tightening the hoop, and the result may be uneven embroidery. Furthermore, when the fabric is removed from the hoop after embroidery is completed, the fabric may shrink and cause the embroidered pattern to become distorted. Embroidery can be applied to many types of fabrics, but it may be necessary to prepare these fabrics in a special manner. * Fabrics with a loopy or napped surface such as towels, use a water soluble stabilizer both on the underside and on the topside of the fabric. * Denim and linen are considered unstable because of the loose weave, use a medium weight cut-away stabilizer on the backside. * T-shirt type fabric usually requires at least one, sometimes two layers of soft mesh-type cut-away stabilizer on the backside. * For medium to heavyweight stable woven fabric, use a medium to heavy weight tear-away type stabilizer. * For soft or sheer fabrics, use a rinse-away type stabilizer. STABILIZER Stabilizer is a non-woven substance. There are a variety of stabilizers available: tear-away, cut-away, wash-away and those that are removed by applying heat. Which stabilizer you choose will depend on the nature of the fabric on which you are embroidering. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to use and apply the stabilizer correctly. Generally, the stabilizer should be larger in size than the hoop with which it is being used. When embroidery is completed, use a fine point scissor to carefully remove any excess stabilizer from the embroidery area.
