EMBROIDERY PREPARATION

USING FABRIC AND STABILIZER

Embroidery can be applied to many different types of

fabrics. Regardless of the fabric, it will be necessary to use

the embroidery machine stitches out the design, eliminating

distortion in the fabric and the design.

depending on the nature of the fabric and the density of the

design being embroidered. But most embroidery designs will

stitch out looking their best if the fabric is properly stabilized.

embroidered. It may be hooped along with the fabric or hooped

alone, depending on the fabric and project.

top of the fabric, either hooped with the fabric or secured in

another manner. Its function is to ensure that the texture or loft

of the fabric is held down, providing a smooth surface for the

embroidery.

Though there are many types of stabilizers available, the most

common types are tear-away, wash away, and cut away.

best type of stabilizer for the project, choose the appropriate

weight. A good general rule is that the weight of the stabilizer

be compatible with the fabric.

Tear-away stabilizers are temporary, so once the excess is

removed after embroidering, the fabric itself must be able to

support the design on its own.

Tear-away stabilizers are usually recommended for woven

fabrics.

Cut-away stabilizers are permanent, and therefore a better

choice for supporting embroidery on unstable fabrics, to

design will stay intact.

Wash-away stabilizers rinse away from the embroidered area.

Though they are a good choice when sewing very light weight

fabrics, they can also be used as a topping. After removing the

main excess stabilizer, the rest is simply rinsed away.

There are also fusible and non-fusible version of stabilizer

the area to be embroidered, preventing distortion of the fabric

while hooping.

However, for fabrics that may be more sensitive to ironing,

the non-fusible stabilizers are used. In these cases, another

helpful tool is a temporary fabric spray adhesive. Use this to

embroidering, to prevent the fabrics from shifting during the

embroidery process.

Knowing how to properly stabilize involves a little trial and error

for best results.

setting, the number will be highlighted.

NOTE:

If the bobbin has been threaded or inserted incorrectly, or if

the upper thread has not been threaded correctly, good thread

tension cannot be achieved. Check to make sure that the

bobbin and upper thread are correctly threaded before making

any adjustments.

STOP FOR CUT

When starting to embroider, the machine can be set so that it

will stop after a few stitches, allowing you the opportunity to cut

the thread tail.
