Embroidery on fabrics that cannot be stretched
on an embroidery frame
When small pieces of fabric that cannot be
stretched on an embroidery frame or thin pieces
like ribbon are being embroidered, use stabilizer
material as a base to stretch on the frame. Spray
stabilizer with a thin layer of fabric glue or
temporary adhesive and place embroidery piece,
right side up onto stabilizer base. We recommend
stabilizer material for all embroidery.
