This 1.5 oz tear away stabilizer is ideal for airy, open work type embroidery designs on light cottons and linen. It's unique because it is made up of half soluble and half non-soluble fibers. By wetting the design once it is complete the stabilizer is easily torn away without distorting stitches or harming the delicate fibers of heirloom quality fabrics. The design will retain the non-soluble part of the stabilizer throughout the life of the garment keeping the embroidery looking smooth. Any remnants of the stabilizer around the design will wash out in the laundry. This product is now available in 8 ½" x 11" sheets for feeding through a printer for paper/foundation-piecing designs and templates. Try the new fusible version of Stitch N Wash® when doing embroidery on loosely woven versions of the fabrics mentioned above that tend to shift during the hooping and embroidery process. By fusing the Stitch N Wash® on to the back of the fabric, it will aid in keeping the fabric taut. This version also eliminates the need for basting or messy spray adhesives.

• Easy to remove from around delicate embroidery or machine stitching.
  
• Won't shadow through light colored fabrics.
  
• Eliminates countless hours of "picking" out stabilizer remnants.
  
• Super stable and will support about 8,000 stitches if the design is well-digitized.

  To use Stitch N Wash® Fusible:

  1. Fuse one layer of the stabilizer on to the back of the garment. Be sure to use a piece at least one inch larger than the outer parameter of the hoop to insure proper stabilization. *Important - Use a low temp (260°, silk) setting on your iron. Do not touch the surface of your iron to the Stitch N Wash®, press from the fabric side or use a press cloth (muslin or cotton).
     
  2. Hoop the garment and stabilizer. Try to achieve "tight as a drum" tension.
     
  3. Repeat steps 2 - 6 from above.
