USING FABRIC AND STABILIZER

         FABRIC

Use stabilizer to produce best results when embroidering on 
the following fabrics.

¿

  Fabrics which lack firmness or stability for embroidery, 

such as cotton, polyester, rayon, etc.

 

Lightweight fabrics such as this, may lack firmness or 
stability and when embroidered may pull in, which may 
result in problems such as shrinkage and puckering of the 
fabric around the embroidery area.

¿

 Stretchy fabrics

 

The fabric may stretch when tightening the hoop, the result 
may be uneven embroidery. Furthermore, when the fabric 
is removed from the hoop after embroidery is complete, 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 the following fabrics in a special 
manner.

* For fabrics with a loopy or napped surface, such as towels, 
use a water-soluble stabilizer on both the topside and 
underside of the fabric.  Depending on the project, a tear-
away or soft mesh cut-away stabilizer may be used on the 
underside instead.

* Denim and linen are considered unstable because of the 
loose weave. Use a medium 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 is a non-woven substance. There is a variety of 
stabilizers available:  tear-away, cut-away, and wash-away.  
There are also specialty stabilizers such as those that are 
removed by applying heat, adhesive stabilizers, etc. 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.

The stabilizer should be larger in size than the hoop with 
which it is being used. Follow stabilizer manufacturer ’s 
recommendations for use. Stabilizers can usually be obtained 
from a fabric store.
