Rexie,
There are many kings of stabilizers, for different weights/types
of fabrics.
I personally LOVE the Floriani
"Stabilizing Solutions" they give info
about the different needles, fabrics, and which stabilizers works for
each kind of fabric.
Another favorite go to place is on Embroidery Library click the "projects"
tab, than click the
"Fabrics 101" tab right there on the top is info for
fabric, and stabilizers.
The links above (in "red") are my 2 all time go to places.
I hope this helps you a little bit at least.
