Recommendations are a guide, not a substitute for following the stabilizer and embroidery machine manufacturer's instructions. Always test on a sample first.
A LITTLE KNOW-HOW GOES A LONG WAY
Three things worth checking
Before you hoop your project, take a moment to match the stabilizer to your fabric and embroidery design.
Know your fabric
Consider fabric stretch, weight, texture and how your finished project will be used.
Consider your design
Dense embroidery and larger designs can require extra support. Think about stitch count and placement.
Test and adjust
Stitch a sample with your fabric, needle and thread. Adjust the stabilizer choice before you begin the final project.
