Thank you for taking the time to teach all the different stabilizer and their best use.

Those are EXACTLY the questions I had. Thank you so much. It’s so confusing to start in this hobby. 😖 Best clarifying video in my opinion.

QUESTION: I want to hand-embroider on cotton fabric which is going to be made into a skirt (so wearing, washing in future). I will, of course, pre-wash / pre-shrink the cotton fabric before embroidering/sewing. Most videos available are for machine-embroidery, however, perhaps it applies also to hand-embroidery. Can you give me any advice on what I should use as stabilizer?

[lindabridges]

Thank You! You helped with stabilizer confusion.

When should I use multiple layers of stabilizer on the bottom? I plan on embroidering towels.

[debbiewindler]

Thank you, very helpful. I'm a beginner embroiderer and stabilizers are the most confusing. I love Sulky products. A question I have is how to tell the difference between tear away and cut away if the label is not with it. I acquired some from a friend.

Hello Lisa from Hawaii my question is where do I put the stabilizers on the piece that I'm sewing or on my cut out that I want to sew on the skirt. I want to put the cut out on a silk skirt? Please advise

[Lkat]

What would be the best option for embroidering on very light material like chiffon and a light polyester? I’ve tried a wash away and it is puckering after I wash it out. It needs to be invisible as it is a worn project.

[jeankeith]

There is a question I have! What causes the thread to bunch up on the needle & eventually thread breaks while you are embroidering?

[BriannaMontz]

I have a fabric wash away stabilizer, but there is i dont see a sticky side. How do i attach it to my fabric? It was cut off at a yard from walmart, so there are no instructions, i dont know if I iron it on or what but i do know i have no adhesive spray. What do i do please help? Lol im going insane

[sejbomb]

Is it going to be hard to embroider a stretchy jacket with the cut away stabiliser AND sulkys printable stick n stitch please? Because that would then be 3 layers to go through 😅

[lesleyharris]

Hi, thanks for sharing this information, quick question about the spray stabilizer, is it starch based ? I'm allergic to most starch products.

[nickfatsis]

Instead of using a stabiliser, is it possible to simply use the same material that you've embroidered on?
