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

[@SewingPartsOnline]

You're very welcome! Thank you for taking the time to watch. :)

[@pamelabird1570]

This is he part of embroidery that has held me back. Your teaching was easy to understand. Thanks. I have never heard of the spray. Will have to check that out

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I am so happy that it has helped. If you have any questions in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. Stabilizers were overwhelming when I first started, so I completely understand the feeling. :)

[@lorrieta5340]

"It made me twitch!" Laughed at that but understood completely!!! Gave me a clearer understanding of stabilizers. Thanks!!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

😁 You're so welcome!

[@jessicam8351]

You answered all the questions no one else has 😭 an actual goddess thank you

[@bimirabu]

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.

This video was SO helpful! Thank you!

[@maryalgar8779]

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?

[@lindabridges445]

Thank You! You helped with stabilizer confusion.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

You're welcome! I am happy to help. :)

You're very welcome!

[@wilmanieves7205]

Love it!

[@debbiewindler8976]

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.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

hmm.. that's a good question. We'll try to find out so we can answer this question in the future!

[@Lkat5]

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.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I, too, would have tried the wash away. Have you tried using 2 layers of the washaway?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I, personally, have not; however, I have been told that you can.

[@lkaaihue4440]

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

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Hello! To clarify, are you doing applique? Cutting out a shape and then doing a satin stitch around the outside of the shape?

[@stephaniegoroza]

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

[@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 😅

[@SewingPartsOnline]

No you should be totally fine! If you run in to issues, maybe try some titanium needles: www.sewingpartsonline.com/products/schmetz-titanium-embroidery-needles

[@sejbomb]

@@SewingPartsOnline thanks so much!! I’ll give them a go :)

[@lesleyharris525]

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

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I will peek in the morning when I get to work and let you know. :)

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Good morning, Lesley. I checked the back of the Terial Magic and it states, " Terial Magic is a non-starch stabilizer which means it won't attract insects or leave a residue."

[@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

[@jeankeith10]

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

[@edakalay]

Thank you.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

You're welcome!

[@annesummers09]

Isn't the spray on stabilizer just the same as spray starch? Thanks.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Great question! It's like super concentrated starch. When you use it, your fabric becomes paper like. You won't get the same results from standard starch.

[@deborahsouth]

@@SewingPartsOnline Hi Anne, what kind of Brither sewing machine do you have? Thank you, Deborah

[@jensmith1517]

Mine was fold so it’s wrinkle… Any tips please???

[@nickfatsis9607]

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

[@SewingPartsOnline]

We would advise against this technique.

[@nickfatsis9607]

why?@@SewingPartsOnline

[@flejj5148]

thanks for sharing all this with us! does the spray on stabilizer wash out, or is it permenant?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

It will wash out. 😊

[@MrPacetediaz]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@LanceMcGrew]

Sure would have liked to actually see these being used rather than just talking about them
