Stabilizers
 
Can you guys give me some ideas as to where the best online shop is to buy stabilizers? Thanks, Wendy

SingerTexas.com usually has good pricing...not affiliated, just use the store on occasion.

I buy stabilizer from Joann's. Go to their website and sign up for their newsletter.

As a bonus, there are some interesting articles on the above link regarding stabilizers.

have purchased from them for several years. I occasionally pick up stabilizer at Hancocks, Hobby Lobby if they have a great sale/coupon. Yesterday, I purchased a roll of Sulky Peel n Stick from Joanne's (first visit to new store here) at 50% off plus additional $$ off coupon.

Just a note: All stabilizer is not created "equal". Depending on type and use, some work better than others.

I almost always wait for the sales- which come so very seldom on store wide purchases- and buy a whole bolt at Hancock's. I keep about 5 different bolts on hand all the time.

I looked at Joanns and the sale ends today, so which one would I buy that tears away the cleanest - without leaving all kinds of fuzzy...lol know what I mean?

These are good ones; not sure where you live but here I can also buy them at Sew n Vac. I also get alot of stabliziers at Joanns or Hancocks on the bolt. Its a good price plus I have large hoops that I normally will do lots of designs at once to save me time and to get the other stabilizers large enough you pay more. These are pretty wide so I can put it on the hoop length wise or sideways. I take them home and wrap them around the pool "noodles" that I've cut to the right length. Sometimes I can get the heavier ones from Walmarts like Timex and it is alot cheaper than quilt stores.

Most of the ones that say tear away will work. You have clear ones and mesh ones so there are different ones to chose from. If you are unsure which will be good for a project you could always buy some of each and test it out. Also emblibrary.com has alot on stabliziers and most machines like Viking has alot on their website. The other site that is listed here RNK also has lots of tutorials on it.
