Machines ne embroidery stabilizer recommendations? Bobbins?
I do a lot of embroidery on flour sack and terry towels. I'd like to use a tearaway on the bottom but what works best? I found some older stuff in the drawer that has dots/holes but it seems like most things don't tearaway nicely. Would love to hear what you have found that works well.
Also...what kind of prewound bobbins do you use. I saw online some magna glide that look interesting. I have a Pfaff Creative 4.5. |
I buy tearaway from my local shop in stacks of 20 sheets. There are many different brands and weights. Don't forget the water soluble stabilizer for the lettering. It keeps the thread from sinking down into the towels.
It will depend on the bobbin size for your machine. A chart that may give you more info. http://www.thethreadexchange.com/miv...in-information More bobbins here. My machines use the 13305 type. I use them in the regular sewing machine sometimes with good results too. You can even buy them in specific colors for free standing lace projects or wind your own thread. http://www.allbrands.com/categories/...bbins-class-15 |

I would not use tear away stabilizer on dish towels or terry towels. If you use wash away you will not have anything showing but the great embroider design.

I use a tear away on the bottom and a topper that dissolves with heat. The part under the Embroidery stays and keeps the design more stable because it doesn’t wash away.

I use spray on stabilizer. It works for me to keep the embroidery part of the fabric not a design on top of the fabric.
