Stabilizer |
- Necessary to ensure the material won't pucker the fabric
- Come in different "weights" (Light, Medium, Heavy)
- Heavy Stabilizer is meant for thicker fabrics and a higher stitch count
- Lighter Stabilizer is meant for thinner fabrics with a lower stitch count
Cut Away
- Use if the fabric has any stretch (ex. knits)
Tear Away
- Use if the fabric is stable woven (ex. cotton & linen)
- Come in Heavy, Medium, and Mesh
- The heavier the stabilizer the more stitches it can handle
Wash Away
- Use if the fabric is sheer (ex. tulle)
- Won't shadow through
Paper
- The cheaper the better
- It'll tear away easier
- Best is newspaper
- Use only when necessary, not the best (like making a bat on PVC)
Equipment
- Embroidery Machine Needles
- Come in a range of sizes (the lower the number, the finer the needle)
- The heavier the fabric, the higher numbered needle will be required
- The lighter the fabric, the lower numbered needle will be required
Anchor
Tips
- ALWAYS do a test piece with scrap fabric of the piece you're working on
