Preparing for embroidery

Embroidery stabilizers

Tear-away stabilizers

• similar to interfacing; tears like paper

• one or more layers can be used

• available in different weights

• for more stability, apply to the wrong side

of the fabric with temporary spray

adhesive before hooping

• carefully tear away excess stabilizer from

the back of the embroidery after stitching

• stabilizer will remain under larger

embroidered areas

Application:

• for all wovens and non-stretchables

Cut-away stabilizers

• one or more layers can be used

• available in light- and heavyweight

• for more stability, apply to the wrong

side of the fabric with temporary spray

adhesive before hooping

• carefully cut away from the back of the

embroidery after stitching

• stabilizer will remain under larger

embroidered areas

Application:

• for all stretchable fabrics

Iron-on interfacing

• must be preshrunk by soaking in warm

water

• this is pressed (fused) to the wrong side

of the fabric

• iron-on interfacings are available in a

variety of weights and should be selec-

ted to suit the fabric being used

• removable iron-on interfacing is also

available

Application:

• to provide body and shape for fabrics

onto which motifs will be placed

• use in conjunction with appropriate

stabilizer

Paper backed adhesive stabilizer

• place stabilizer in hoop, paper side up

• use a pointed object (e.g. scissors) to

score the paper and remove it to reveal

the self-adhesive surface

• position the piece of fabric to be

embroidered on the stabilizer

Application:

• intended for delicate fabrics such as

jersey or silk, or hard to hoop fabrics

such as velvets

• for pieces, sections and materials that

can not be hooped

• for fabrics that easily crush or otherwise

be marked by hooping: use spray

adhesive on the stabilizer, hoop the

stabilizer, then fix the sections to be

embroidered onto the stabilizer

Spray starch for additional stiffening

• spray starch is ideal for stiffening fine,

soft or loosely woven fabrics

• spray the area to be embroidered, let

dry or press gently with a warm iron

• always use an additional stabilizer such

as water soluble stabilizer on the wrong

side of the fabric

Application:

• ideal for fine, loosely woven fabrics, e.g.

batiste, fine linen, etc.

Spray adhesive

• do not use spray adhesive near or

directly at embroidery computer

• use spray to stick stabilizer to wrong

side of fabric for more stability

• sparingly use spray adhesive and spray

form a distance of 25-30cm to stabilizer

• place fabric and sprayed stabilizer flat

on each other and press together

Application:

• on stretchable fabrics and knits to

prevent distortion

• appliqué: exact securing of appliqués for

embroidery

• smooth fabrics: to prevent shifting

• cutwork: to fix cut-out pieces on stabili-

zers, e. g. pockets on trousers, collars

etc.

When using paper backed

adhesive stabilizer make sure

that there is no adhesive

residue on needle, stitch plate

and hook area.
