Why we picked it
Part of Sulky's beginner machine embroidery series, this episode explains what the main types of stabilizer do, how to choose one for a given project and the different ways they are removed once stitching is done. It also covers how to hoop fabric and stabilizer together. A tidy primer for new embroiderers, and a handy piece for training new staff before they work on customer garments.
