Stabilizer decoder

Choose support by what should happen after stitching.

Tear-away

Removes by tearing after stitching. Often useful for stable woven fabrics and designs with appropriate density.

Cut-away

Stays behind the embroidery for lasting support—especially useful for knits, stretch and dense designs.

Wash-away

Dissolves with water when the support needs to disappear, including freestanding lace and sheer projects.

Fusible & sticky

Adds grip or temporary placement help for difficult-to-hoop pieces, appliqué and precise positioning.
