Cutaway Fusible

 

Cutaway Fusible Medium Stabilizer - Machine Embroidery - Stitch Stabilizers Medium/Heavy Stitch Count Designs, Knits/Stretch Fabric Floriani Floriani Medium Cutaway is a very soft yet solid 2.0 oz stabilizer that will support medium to heavy stitch count designs. It is ideal for fabrics that are considered un-stable; fabrics such as fleece, t-shirts, sweatshirts, polo knit, etc. Floriani Medium Cutaway stabilizer has a light fusible coating and is ideal for knits that tend to distort or stretch when they are hooped and/or when the embroidery is forming. The uniqueness of this product is the fact that it is fusible. This eliminates the need for messy spray adhesives which leave a residue on the needle, machine and fabric. By fusing the stabilizer to the back of the garment, embroiderer's are more successful in hooping and do not stretch the garment out of shape. Most importantly, the stabilizer is attached to the entire area where the embroidery will be stitched unlike spray adhesives which only "spot" tack and allow shifting of the fabric. Please read more details from the label in photo #3. *Use on non-stable stretch fabrics. *Will support a design density of about 14,000 stitches and well digitized. *Super soft feel makes it ideal for sweatshirts, fleece and sweater knits. *Fusible version eliminates the need for spray adhesives or basting. Roll is approximately: 12 inches wide x 10 yards. Color: White To use Floriani Medium Cutaway: 1) Cut a piece of the stabilizer at least one inch larger than the hoop size you are planning to use. 2) Place the stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric and fuse the stabilizer. Use a low to medium temp, dry iron (260°F, silk setting) to adhere to stabilizer to the back side of the fabric. The surface of the iron should touch the fabric not the stabilizer. Use a pressing cloth if necessary. 3) Hoop your stabilized fabric. 4) Place the embroidery frame on the machine and complete the design. Note! If the design is denser than 14,000 stitches or if it is a poorly digitized design (too many stitches for the designs size), float an additional layer of Floriani Medium Tearaway between the hoop and the bed of the machine for each additional 10,000 stitches for added support. 5) Once the design is complete, remove the hoop and garment from the machine and trim the stabilizer close to the design. This product is also available in a non-fusible version. Please contact me for more information.

Fusible Wet N Gone

Wet N Gone.jpg

Wet N Gone® - This unique product is a fibrous water soluble stabilizer but also has a light fusible coating which aids in hooping and fabric control. The water soluble base does a beautiful job of supporting dense embroidery designs on fabrics where complete stabilizer removal is desired. Its clean rinse capability makes it the best choice when using it with delicate fibers such as yarn scarves or English netting. Also use for sheer fabrics such as organdy, organza, lame, sheer silks and more to establish a solid type fabric that is easier to hoop and embroider. Once the embroidery is complete, all the stabilizer rinses away and will not shadow through. ** Rinses clean leaving no messy residue Package contains one fusible roll of stabilizer: 12" wide x 12 yards long Color: White To use Floriani Wet N Gone Fusible®: 1) Fuse one layer of the stabilizer on to the back of the fabric. Be sure to use a piece at least one inch larger than the outer parameter of the hoop to insure proper stabilization. *Important – Use a low temp (260°F (120°C) Silk Setting) on your iron. Do not touch the surface of your iron to the Wet N Gone Fusible®, use a press cloth (muslin or cotton). Press quickly! It is not necessary to hold the iron to the fabric for more than two or three seconds. **NOTE: All irons heat differently. The iron temperature given above is a starting point. If you find that you are not getting a good fuse, slowly increase your irons temperature until you achieve a good bond between the fabric and stabilizer. 2) Embroider the design. 3) Remove the garment or item from the hoop. Pull back and trim away as much of the stabilizer as possible. 4) Rinse away the remaining Wet N Gone Fusible® using cool water. *Tip - If your desire is to have the lace stiff, simply get the embroidery wet. Don't rinse! Once it is wet, the stabilizer will be absorbed into the stitching and will dry stiff. Details on how to use this product are on a direction sheet inside the tube.
