Liquid stabilizer for machine embroidery
Hello to all. I've been reading the new issue of Creative Machine Embroidery and in an article it mentions liquid stabilizer. A search turned up Terial Liquid Stabilizer. Has anyone used it for stabilizing embroidery on a quilt block? If so, what were the results and were you happy? This is a new concept for me but I'd be willing to try it.

I use Terial instead of the other paper or wash away stabilizers. I can't see having a lot of different paper ones to keep track of. I also use it instead of starch. I spray the fabric lightly and let soak in then press.

I really like the Terial Magic Stabilizer; you DO have to shake the bottle before each use and let it soak into the fabric for a few minutes before pressing it; it's great stuff although kind of pricey. I really like it better than Best Press.

I haven't tried it, but if your intention is to quilt with the embroidery machine, through the layers of the quilt, you don't need stabilizer unless there is something other than the standard type of thin batting and cotton fabric. I have quilted several quilts this way, using Warm and Natural batting, and have had no problem other than managing the weight of a heavy quilt that wants to pull at the hoop if it's not constantly supported all around. Stabilizer won't help that.
