4. EMBROIDERING
PREPARATION BEFORE SEWING
BE SURE TO ATTACH A PIECE OF STABILIZER FABRIC TO THE BACK OF THE
MATERIAL BY IRONING BEFORE STARTING TO EMBROIDER
Using stabilizer fabric is an indispensable part of creating attractive embroidery. It is
particularly important to attach stabilizer fabric to the back of stretch fabrics, thin fabrics
and fabric with coarse weaves. If necessary, two thicknesses of stabilizer fabric can be
attached. If embroidering onto fabrics which cannot be ironed, or in places where ironing
is difficult, place the stabilizer fabric underneath the frame before embroidering. Use
stabilizer fabric which is larger in area than the frame, and make sure that the stabilizer
fabric is clamped all the way around by the frame to prevent the fabric from becoming
loose.
