Give your decorative stitching the perfect foundation with Select TearAway. This ultra-lightweight tear-away stabilizer has enough body to support dense satin stitch appliqué, yet is easily removed from your lightest stitching. The temporary fusible coating will secure the fibers of your fabric eliminating pinning or distortion.
Directions for Use and Care
To stabilize for satin stitching or applique:
- Cut a piece of Select TearAway slightly larger than the area to be stitched or embellished.
- Place the shiny side of the stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric.
- Cover the stabilizer with a pressing cloth or piece of cotton.
- Using a medium setting (wool) on your iron, press into place.
- Let the stabilizer become cool.
- Stitch or embellish as desired.
- Once stitching is complete, gently tear away the excess stabilizer.
To stabilize for embroidery:
- Cut a piece of Select TearAway at least one inch larger than the embroidery frame intended for use.
- Place the shiny side of the stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric.
- Cover the stabilizer with a pressing cloth or piece of cotton.
- Using a medium setting (wool) on your iron, press into place.
- Place the stabilized fabric in the embroidery frame and stitch.
- Once stitching is complete, remove the article from the embroidery frame and gently tear away the excess stabilizer.
