Attaching Iron-On Stabilizer (Backing) to Fabric

In order to prevent shrinkage of the stitching or misaligned patterns, we recommend that iron-on stabilizer 
(backing) be used for embroidering.

CAUTION

1

Using a steam iron, affix the iron-on 
stabilizer (backing) to the back of the fabric.

• When embroidering fabric that should not 

be ironed or when embroidering an area 
that is difficult to iron, hoop a layer of the 
iron-on stabilizer (backing) under the fabric 
in the embroidery frame without ironing it.

Note

Use a piece of iron-on stabilizer (backing) 
that is larger than the embroidery frame. 
When framing the fabric in the embroidery 
frame, be sure that the stabilizer (backing) 
is clamped on all edges in order to prevent 
wrinkles in the fabric.

Memo

When embroidering thin fabrics, such as 
organza or lawn, use a water-soluble 
stabilizer (backing). Water-soluble 
stabilizers dissolve when washed, 
allowing you to create beautiful 
embroidery that is not stiff.

When embroidering fabric with a nap, 
such as towels or corduroy, hoop a layer 
of iron-on stabilizer (backing) under the 
fabric in the embroidery frame without 
ironing it.

For other uses of stabilizer (backing), refer 
to “Stabilizers (backing)” on page 221.

When embroidering on thin or stretch fabrics, fabrics with a coarse weave or fabrics that 
easily allow the stitching to shrink, be sure to use iron-on stabilizer (backing) for 
embroidering. If iron-on stabilizer (backing) is not used while embroidering, the needle 
may bend or break or the pattern may become misaligned.
