Tear-Away Stabilizer: The most commonly used type of stabilizer,
designed to provide temporary support of stitching. Placed on the
wrong side of the project and carefully pulled away once stitching
is complete. Available in three weights – heavy, medium, and light.
Multiple lightweight layers may be preferable to one heavy layer,
as they are easier to remove. Many adhesive versions have appeared
on the market lately, including Stabil-Stick, which has a peel-away
backing which exposes the sticky adhesive, and Hydro-Stick, has
a water-activated adhesive on one side which provides a secure
bond and a high degree of stabilization for very dense and/or intricate
designs. Available in white and black.
Cut-Away Stabilizer: The most widely used stabilizer in the commer-
cial market. Does not break down under dense stitching, due to the
high fiber – rather than paper – content. Excess stabilizer is trimmed
away after stitching (leave approximately ¼” of stabilizer around the
edges). Remaining stabilizer continues to support stitches throughout
life of garment/project. Stabil-Stick and Hydro-Stick are available as
cut-away stabilizers; in addition, PolyMesh, described below, is avail-
able in a fusible version. Available in white and black.
Web/Poly-Mesh Type Stabilizer: A specially formulated cut-away
stabilizer developed for use behind lightweight or light-colored fabrics.
Available in fusible and non-fusible versions. Available in white, black,
and beige.
Water-Soluble Stabilizer: Used for backing and topping, in single
or multiple layers. Available in two weights. Excellent for decorative
stitching and cutwork as there are no remnants of stabilizer left after
removal (it dissolves). As a topping, it keeps stitches from being lost
in heavily napped fabrics such as velvet and corduroy. Examples:
Aqua Film and Badge Master. Aqua Mesh Plus is an adhesive
water-soluble stabilizer.
Iron-On Stabilizer: A non-woven product similar to paper. Perfect
for knits, this tear-away stabilizer is temporarily bonded to the fabric,
inhibiting the tendency of the material to stretch.
Heat Removable Stabilizer: Woven from strands of fiber that are
burned away at a low temperature, heat removable stabilizers are
perfect for heirloom stitchery.
