USING THE MATERIAL AND STABILIZER
MATERIAL
Use stabilizer to produce best results when embroidering on
the following fabrics.
Materials which lack firmness or stability such as
ligthweight cotton.
Thin, soft materials such as hankerchief linens.
Because materials such as this lack firmness or stability,
embroidery stitches may pull in, which can result in
problems such as shrinkage and puckering of the material
around the embroidery area.
Stretchy materials
If the material is stretched when it is being tightened in the
hoop, the result may be uneven embroidery. Furthermore,
when the material is removed from the hoop after
embroidery is complete, the material 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.
* Materials with a loopy or napped surface such as towels, use
a soft mesh cut-away type stabilizer on the backside, along
with a rinse-away stabilizer on the topside.
∗
Denim and linen are considered unstable because of the
loose weave, use a medium weight cut-away stabilizer on the
backside.
* T-shirt type material usually require at least one, sometimes
two layers of soft mesh-type cut-away stabilizer.
∗
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.
