When finished, use a stencil cutter to melt away the organza and you will have perfect cutwork that will never pull apart as the stitches are being held by the organza. With wash out stabilizers, they go even under the stitches leaving nothing to support.
I'm afraid, that I am a little paranoid about stabilizers as without the proper backing, the embroidery is useless. Hope this helps.
Meant to add, that twinkle organza works best! It is the most stable.

Wendy,
Where can the twinkle organza be purchased? Do you have an online source?
Thanks.
