Stabilizer for machine embroidered quilt blocks?
I am planning a quilt with pretty heavily embroidered floral quilt blocks, I am doing the sitich outs and have found that I need to use a heavy stabilizer to make them stitch out without "puckers". I haven't done this type of quilt before and am wondering if there is a different stabilizer that might work and not be quite so stiff. I think that the design is such that it will be pretty stiff anyway. I plan to use the quilt as a bedspread "for show" and not as a cuddly comfort quilt, so maybe the stiffness won't matter anyway. I am using Pellon iron on medium stabilizer and I have tried wash away and a soft stabilizer that lost its wrapper but they didn't work very well, I got lots of wrinkles around the edge of the design. Any advice from those more experienced is greatly appreciated!
