My suggestion would be to try using the used dryer sheets for stablizer, though. I'm loving using them for string quilts and I know that they are wonderful when I'm doing some hand embroidery on thinner fabrics.

So would you tear or cut away the dryer sheets or would you just leave it in? I don't have an embroidery machine, but sometimes have need for a stabelizer. Was wondering if you just left the sheets in or cut or tore them away. Oops repeated myself. :oops:
