Yes, as justabitcrazy said, you can take the stabilizer off by pressing with an iron and peeling while it is hot. I have removed it before by getting it hot and starting an end, then pulling the fabric up and the stabilizer down, with it positioned at the edge of an ironing board or table. I leave the iron on it and it just slides back as the fabric pushes it. You quickly learn how fast to go. There is a little bit of glue still left on the fabric, but it doesn't change it enough to notice it.
