I've had a PE-770 for a few years now. The stabilizer you use will depend on what type of fabric you're using to embroider on. For cotton evenweaves a tear-way is fine, but for knits you need cut-away. It will help you tremendously to attend a seminar on stabilizers. I went to a Floriani thing at a sewing shop, also one given by Bernina, and both were extremely helpful.

For FSl (Free Standing Lace) you need the mesh type water soluble. The film type is normally used for topping on towels and other fabrics that have a deep pile.
