I don't use it as a stabilizer but I do embroider on it and it does very well. I can't see it standing up to washing, etc so I wouldn't use it as stabilizer. Depending on what you embroider on it you may or maynot need stabilizer but I'd never use it as stabilizer, not stable and too thick.
try this link for lots of good info for using stabilizer
