Sophie,

Here is the link for information about the Stitch n Wash Stabilizer
from Floriani.

RNK Distributing Stitch n Wash

In August when I went to the Floriani Event we were told that
with the stitch n wash that the stabilizer that is not stitched on
will tear away easily, but any remaining under the stitches will
remain even through washing.
It is design to give continuous "stabilizing support" after removing
the "unused areas.

At least this is what we were told.

But click on the link above to read more about the stabilizer.

Good luck and hope it will give you the desired effects.

After doing the embroidery, I wet the stablizer and it tears away from the embroidery very easily, however, even after running the towel thru the washer, there is still stablizer around all the lettering. Is it suppose to stay there? Is there a better stablizer to use? I will post pictures of the towels later this week. I think they will make great Christmas gifts. Thanks in advance for any information. Love this thread!
