Stable Stitches

BY DAWN ANDREW

The Rule of Three

Keep these three facts in mind for all of your embroidery projects:

1. You Need Stabilizer: The hoop holds the fabric and the stabilizer keeps the fabric from

moving, puckering, or stretching while it is being stitched. It is impossible to stitch

beautiful embroidery without stabilization.

2. Follow These General Guidelines: Use Cut-Away on knits, Tear-Away on wovens, and Wash-Away when you don’t want any

stabilizer left in the design.

3. Hoop Whenever Possible: Adhere the stabilizer to the fabric using 101 Quilt Basting Spray and hoop the layers, making them

smooth, but not stretched, in the hoop.

through the needle

One of the most important keys to creating professional-

looking embroidery is choosing the correct stabilizer.

A common question among most embroiderers is,

“How do I choose the right stabilizer?” but that is

only one of many questions that

can be asked about stabilizer. So

let’s have a conversation with an

OESD Educator to nd the

answers that will yield the best

embroidery results.
