Important embroidery information

Water soluble stabilizer for fabric with a

pile and lace embroidery

• water soluble stabilizer looks like plastic

wrap

• dissolve stabilizer in warm water when

embroidery is complete

• water soluble stabilizers are ideal

protection for fabrics with a thick or

looped pile such as toweling. It also

prevents the embroidery threads from

sinking into the fabric or the fabric

threads from poking out between the

stitching

• place on top of toweling and high nap

fabrics backed by appropriate stabilizer

for fabric and motif

• use spray adhesive to fix stabilizer if

necessary

• for fabric with a pile, reinforce with

additional, suitable stabilizer on the

wrong side if necessary

• for lace embroidery place one or two

layers of water soluble stabilizer in hoop

(as the motif is not embroidered on any

fabric, only the thread embroidered motif

is left)

• after dissolving lay the motif down flat

and let dry

• water soluble stabilizer can also be

removed by gently tearing it away when

used as a topping on non-washable

fabrics like velvet

Application:

• ideal for toweling, velvet, bouclé knits,

etc.

• ideal for fine, sheer fabrics such as

organdy, batiste, etc.

• recommended for use as a stabilizer

with low stitch count motifs

• use heavier water soluble stabilizer to

stitch lace motifs

Choosing an embroidery motif

• simple motifs with a low stitch count are

suitable for embroidery on fine fabric

• large-scale, densely embroidered motifs

(e.g. with multiple color and embroidery

direction changes) are suitable for

medium- and heavyweight fabrics

Embroidery test

• always stitch an embroidery test on a

sample fabric. Adjust color, thread

quality, needle, stitch density, tension,

etc. to suit the motif if necessary

• for the test use the same fabric and

stabilizer that you will use on the project

Scaling/Sizing motifs

• motifs can be scaled/sized with

the BERNINA embroidery software on

the PC

• extensive scaling up or down of motifs

may lead to unsatisfactory results
