Just wondering if the interfacing becomes detached after numerous washes, or does it stay ‘glued’ to the fabric. Thanks

Hi,

For this- I would recommend using a featherweight fusible interfacing. Featherweight is even a step below a lightweight, so it shouldn’t add much bulk at all.

Cheers
Ashley

The print is on the bias so I want to stabilize the fabric so the print looks like it is square. Can I use Pellon SK135 to do this or what can I use that won’t add bulk. I will be making HSTs out of this square

Dear Palila,

Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-

Yes, if you do not care about being able to remove it- an iron on interfacing can be used to stabilize the fabric. I would still recommend trying to match the weight of the interfacing with the weight of the fabric though.
We’d love to have you be a part of our community. We are convinced you will enjoy the benefits of becoming a member and having access to the best instructional how to videos and professional tips. We would like to offer you a special promotion for your first-year membership.

I dont have a stabilizer can i use interfacing instead? i don’t really care if you cant remove it after it think it’ll help support it when it goes through the wash.

Dear Rosemary,

Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-

This will depend on the type of fabric you are embroidering on. Here is a helpful article to help you decide what stabilizer to use:

Would any of these products work to strengthen an old novelty sweatshirt? It’s a typical 50% algodon, 50% polyester department store shirt with a “fleecy” inside. I’m reluctant to wear it for fear that it will fall apart. Thanks

What stabilizer should I use and should I press interfacing on the back after embroidering?
