This tearaway stabilizer has a light fusible coating and was developed for embroidery on light weight cotton, shirt weight denim, linen and other woven fabrics that tend to distort or stretch when they are hooped or when the embroidery is forming. The uniqueness of this product is the fact that it is fusible. This eliminates the need for messy spray adhesives which leave a residue on the needle, machine and fabric. By fusing the stabilizer to the back of the garment, embroiderer's are more successful in hooping an do not stretch the garment out of shape. Most importantly, the stabilizer is attached to the entire area where the embroidery will be stitched unlike spray adhesives which only "spot" tack and allow shifting of the ok product is also well liked because it offers a clean tear from around the design. It is also available in a non-fusible version and is called Floriani Medium Tearaway.
- Use for solid type embroidery designs on light weight woven fabrics such as batiste, linen, shirt weight denim, pin-point cotton, quilt cottons, etc.
- Makes hooping a snap by eliminating shift and stretch within the fabric
- Fibers of the fabric will not move during the stitching process
- Will support about an 8,000 stitch count, well digitized design.
- Tears away clean from around the embroidery design.
- Not need for basting or spray adhesives!
To use Heat N Sta® Tearaway:
- Fuse one layer of Heat N Sta® to the back of the fabric to be embroidered. Be sure to use a piece at least one inch larger than the outer parameter of the hoop to insure proper stabilization. *Important - Use a low to medium temp (260°, silk) setting on your iron. Do not touch the surface of your iron to the Heat N Sta®, press from the fabric side or use a press cloth (muslin or cotton).
- Hoop the garment and stabilizer. Try to achieve "tight as a drum" tension.
- Embroider your design. *Tip-If the design is denser than 8,000 stitches or if it is a poorly digitized design (too many stitches for designs size), float one layer of Floriani Medium Tearaway between the hoop and the bed of the machine for each additional 10,000 stitches for added support!
- Once the design is complete, remove the hoop from the machine and tear away the Heat N Sta® from around the embroidery.
Floriani Medium Tearaway
Available in Black or White
Floriani Medium Tearaway is manufactured using a unique process called the "Delta Wet Laid Non-Woven" technique
. The benefit of using this method of production is that the product is very solid, when closely examined you will see no thick and/or thin spots. When used as an embroidery stabilizer, it is not necessary to use multiple layers in random directions to support stitches. Medium Tearaway is a 1.5 oz, clean tear stabilizer. It is the best choice for a supplement stabilizer when working on high stitch count designs in conjunction with your other stabilizers such as No Show Nylon Mesh, Heat N Sta® tearaway, or Wet N Stick®. It provides back up support without adding unwanted bulk.
- Use to support embroidery designs on towels, denim or other "stable" woven fabrics
- Tears clean from around most embroidery designs
- Will support about 8,000 stitches on a well-digitized, average size design
- Use in conjunction with other stabilizers for added support
To use Floriani Medium Tearaway:
- Cut a piece of the stabilizer at least one inch larger than the hoop size you are planning to use.
- Hoop the stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric.
- Place the embroidery frame on the machine; complete the layout and centering of the design.
- If the design to be stitched is denser than 8,000 stitches or if it is a poorly digitized (too many stitches for designs size), float an additional layer of Floriani Medium Tearaway between the hoop and the bed of the machine for each additional 8,000 stitches for added support!
- Once the design is complete, remove the hoop and fabric from the machine. Tear away the stabilizer from around the design one layer at a time.
