Читать книгу Pocket Guide to Stabilizers - Sue O'Very-Pruitt - Страница 6

This pocket guide may be little, but it is packed full of tips and tricks to help you use embroidery stabilizers successfully. At the end of the description of each type of stabilizer, there will be additional tips, best hooping practices, and more. The one tip I include here is to start yourself a stabilizer notebook. Keep track of the stabilizers, designs, needles, and thread used. Pay attention to the brands you really like and where you purchased them. All these notes will come in handy when you least expect it, and you will thank me for it.

This pocket guide is designed to show the basics of which stabilizers to use with which materials in a quick reference manner. The idea is to help you consider your options while shopping for stabilizers, show you how to hoop materials, and instruct you in removing stabilizers after your embroidery is complete. Each section of Guide to Stabilizer Types and Uses (beginning here) is dedicated to a certain type of stabilizer, breaking down the different varieties of that stabilizer and listing a limited number of brands. Many brands offer detailed instructions and excellent education on their websites, so it is a good idea to research their recommendations when using their brands.

Please know that there are numerous possibilities for techniques, stabilizers, materials, and designs. Use this pocket guide as a reference, because not all stabilizers (even if they look alike) are created equal. Testing the stabilizer, material, and design is always the best way to decide on the final combination.
