Sulky Secrets to Successful
Stabilizing!: Depending on the project, we will
choose a stabilizer that may be placed either in the
hoop, under the hoop, or stuck to the hoop; it may be
ironed on, pinned in place, or adhered with Sulky KK 2000
Temporary Spray Adhesive. You'll know when you have the
right stabilizer topping or backing because stitches lie
perfectly without sinking into the fabric, all parts of
the design or project are positioned perfectly because
the fabric doesn't slip during stitching, and your
stitched project doesn't sag, pull or pucker. To achieve
that, this book will help you sort out which stabilizer
or combination of stabilizers to choose. How, What, When,
Why and Where do we use Stabilizers? This is what you
will learn in this book from the numerous, diversified,
creative projects and tips from over 50 well known
industry professionals. We will be discussing practical
applications and guidelines - not rules - for usage. Use
this book as a source of inspiration, reference and
information. |
