Check the video. And read machine embroidery posts at different embroidery groups at Facebook. Too many groups to list. The spray stiffens fabric. So far I have only tried cotton fabric. I spray it on like starch. No soaking but I do let it seep in the fabric before ironing like starch. The bowl will keep over spray contained and easier to get the piece covered with the spray. I hoop the fabric like normal. I don't know what you mean by cutting the pattern out before embroidering.

This is very interesting - would like to find it locally instead of on Amazon to try it. When I embroidery on T-shirts I use an adhesive stabilizer so there is NO pull. But I can see where it would be wonderful for HSTs and even in embroidery. But when I use embroidery on a quilt I use a cut-away and leave it the size of the bock, I have found it gives it a bit more strength and it won't curl under after being washed.
I am a little concerned it is not carried by quilt shops and there fabric stores. But it is worth a try. So guess I will order it on Amazon and see what happens.

I just started to embroider and never heard of the fabric spray stailizer!

I also am very interested to hear about this product. I am new to embroidery and any new to me technique is greatly appreciated. I am wearing a tshirt that I have embroidered and am not fond of the stiffness imparted by the stabilizer I used.

I'm going to make shirts. Spaghetti strap & tank top style from t-shirt knits. The embroidery will be done on the center/upper front of the shirts. So you'd need to have enough fabric to hoop. I'm guessing you'd have to stiffen the fabric, do the embroidery then cut out the shirt front.

Shirts I've done up to now.... I ironed on a stabilizer & had to trim & let some of it in. Not happy with that feel. I have purchased t-shirts with embroidery & they didn't use any stabilizer.

I did some research & saw that it is supposed to be good for knits. Saw they did embroidery on baby shirts, etc using the Terial Magic. I would still use a wash away stabilizer on top of my fabric to keep the stitches from sinking into the knit fabric.

I'm headed to my Bernina dealer today & if they have it I'll get some & try it.

I am going to follow this thread closely. I'm totally new to embroidery- received a beautiful machine from my dear husband for Christmas. I haven't even had time to try it out really, because of being ill and several things that have blocked my getting to try the machine. I have a question for those of you who are veterans in the field. For those who have used this spray, will this gum up the needles and the machine?
Next question, why do you need to count our stitches for each item you embroider,is this so you will know when to have your machine serviced or for what reason? Thanks for the help .

Just looked at the video, wow, I am going to try it! Wonder how it will work in the magnetic hoop? Looks easy!

Thanks for the tip. This is a new product to me - I can't wait to try it on t-shirts! I generally embroider on veils made of lace and use wash away, so not much thought given to anything else. I'd love to do an embroidered quilt so maybe this will get me going!

This is very interesting. I did not know about this spray stabilizer. I am going to try it too.

I am also a beginner at machine embroidery. So far I have only used the tear away & the cut away. I am going to check on the spray too because it seems so much easier with the way you do it. I sometimes think that people that say to use a certain product is because it is their own product or it is a friends product & of course that is their way of promoting it. Their product is probably really good but it is not the only way. Do what works best for you & what you like. I'm glad you posted this because I had no idea about the spray. Thank you
