If embroidering onto material which is smaller than the
hoop size, or when embroidering close to the edge of
material, attach the stabilizer as illustrated.
WHEN EMBROIDERING ALONG THE EDGE OF
MATERIAL SUCH AS A HANDKERCHIEF
WHEN EMBROIDERING A NARROW PIECE OF
FABRIC SUCH AS RIBBON TAPE
Use two layers of interfacing if required by the material.
Always use a layer of stabilizer which is bigger than the hoop
being used. (The stabilizer will not work properly unless it is
clamped by the hoop together with the material being
embroidered.).
Stabilizer can usually be obtained from a fabric store.
Stabilizer is available in several different types, from thin to
thick. Purchase whichever type suits your embroidering needs.
It is generally recommended that the weight of the stabilizer be
similar to that of the fabric.
