Brother SA520 Water Soluble Lightweight Stabilizer 3.2 Yard Roll

Brother SA520 Water Soluble Lightweight Stabilizer 3.2 Yard Roll

Genuine Brother Accessory. This lightweight stabilizer is known as a film type of water soluble stabilizer. Up close it has the look of a clear plastic film but it actually washes away completely with warm water. This makes it ideal for situations when you need the stabilizer to completely disappear after you have finished stitching. Commonly used as a topping on napped fabrics such as towels, consider using this stabilizer on a wide variety of textured and napped fabrics where it is likely that the stitches will sink into the fibers. It is a good idea to add this topping when embroidering on knit fabrics to help raise the stitches above the tiny ribs found on many knits. This type of stabilizer is also a great added layer for embroidering sheer and lightweight fabrics including chiffon and organza. Simply add a layer on top of the fabric and on the bottom, sandwiching the thin fabric in between. Remember that the fabric you are using must be washable in warm water. In addition, keep in mind the fact that this provides only temporary support for the stitches. Some designs will require additional, non-removable stabilizer for support both during and after embroidery is complete.
