Default Terial Magic vs. stabilizer

I played with Terial Magic last night. I put it to the test for machine embroidery. You pre-treat the fabric with it which stiffens it. You can then embroider a design without using stabilizer. I chose a large design (the largest I have ever had the patience for.) It was a design that came loaded on my Janome 9900. 34,900 stitches/89 minutes. 7 thread changes.

I was impressed with the results and Terial Magic washed out so quickly! Not sure that I would use it for all embroidery but for designs where you don't want the stabilizer backing; an option. You can see how stiff it makes the fabric where the hoop was. You can use Terial Magic for photo printing and for use with the fabric cutters such as the Silhouette or Scan n Cut. It really stiffens!
