I have been commissioned to make a quilt for a friend to give his wife for Christmas. He wants embroidery on the front only.
I know I need to use stabilizer to do this, my questions is... do you leave the stabilizer on? Do you use water soluable stabilizer? If so, when do you wash it out? Will it come out if I don't wash the quilt until it is completely done? I always use the embroidery as the "quilting" so this is all new to me. I figured I would put the top together then do the embroidery so I get the design centered in each block, but not sure what to do about the stabilizer.
Thanks for any suggestions.
