Attaching Iron-on Stabilizers 
(Backing) to the Fabric

Follow the package instructions for the stabilizer 
being used.

 in this order to display a 

video example of attaching iron-on stabilizers 
(backing) to the fabric (see page 34). Follow the 
steps explained below to complete the operation.

When using fabrics that cannot be ironed (such as 
towel or fabrics that have loops which expand 
when ironed) or in places where ironing is 
difficult, position the stabilizer material under the 
fabric without fusing it, then position the fabric 
and stabilizer in the embroidery frame, or check 
with your authorized dealer for the correct 
stabilizer to use.

 CAUTION

• Use fabrics with a thickness of less than 3 mm (approx. 1/8 inch). Using fabrics thicker than 3 mm 

(approx. 1/8 inch) may cause the needle to break.

• When using layers with thicker batting etc., you can sew more attractive embroidery by adjusting the 

embroidery presser foot height in the embroidery settings screen (see below).

• In the case of thick terry cloth towels we recommend that you place a piece of water soluble stabilizer on 

the top surface of the towel. This will help to reduce the nap of the toweling and result in more attractive 
embroidery.

Note

• Press 

, and select page 6/7 to use 

 and 

 in the Embroidery Foot Height display in the 

embroidery settings screen. Adjust the presser foot height for thick or puffy fabrics.

• To increase the space between the presser foot and the needle plate, set the embroidery foot height to 

a larger number, 1.5mm setting is used for most embroidery.

 CAUTION

• Always use a stabilizer material for 

embroidery when sewing stretch fabrics, 
lightweight fabrics, fabrics with a coarse 
weave, or fabrics which cause pattern 
shrinkage. Otherwise, the needle may break 
and cause injury. Not using a stabilizer 
material may result in a poor finish to your 
project.
