Tear Away Machine Embroidery Stabilizer Backing 8x8 - 100 Precut Sheets - Medium Weight 1.8 oz- Fits 4x4 and 6x6 Hoops

Honestly, I havent used tearaway stabilizer since I first started embroidering 7 years ago. What I used back then always had horrible edges when it was torn away, so I use either water soluble or no show mesh. I really needed some tearaway to float under more dense designs to prevent puckering. I just didnt want to buy any -- until I had to!! I searched and read reviews, and decided to just try this. Let me tell you it has changed my mind about tearaway stabilizer! It is amazing! The edges are completely clean when you tear it away. I recently did a design with 88,000 stitches and it held the design PERFECTLY. Absolutely no puckering at all! I laundered the pillow covering after embroidering it, and it washed and dried perfectly! No shrinkage and no distortion. This product definitely has made me a believer in the value of floating a tearaway stabilizer, AND I wont hesitate to hoop it when necessary for those projects too! You will be thrilled with this product -- especially if you are like me, and usually stay as far away from tearaway as possible because of what the edges look like when you tear it! I wont ever be without this specific product in my sewing room!!

This Tear Away wash firm and held the stitches securely. Tearing away was a breeze. When used with a heavy Satin Stitch it held up. and was easily removed later.

It works great for embroidering certain things that need this type of stabilizer. It tears away easily.

While looking for sew in interfacing to make masks, I had a hard time finding the recommended brands and decided to give this a try. I made two patterns- the standard pleated square and the Olson mask, opting for the second since it has a pocket (in case this didnt work out). I washed the interfacing by hand to see if it could even hold up to water, then cut it, basted it, and made my masks. They turned out stiffer than those Id initially made with fusible interfacing, but felt like they filtered the air better- Id say slightly more than a standard dust mask (bear in mind this is all subjective). On the pleated masks this added quite a bit more bulk to the pleats, so going slow is important (or use your walking foot if you have it). After they were made and used I hand washed them in hot water (about 140°F) and disinfectant and hung them to dry. The masks felt just as sturdy and stable as they did pre-wash, though they did need a quick press. As for whether these are suitable for hospitals, Im unsure, as I currently make masks for friends and family. In terms of allergens, Im a rather allergic person (hah) and had no trouble with this material. Your mileage may vary, however. At minimum its probably best to make sure to encase the interfacing between two layers of fabric. I plan to keep making masks, and Im so glad I found this material. Edit: meant to say, I also basted this in to the face pattern pieces of the Olson mask, so as not to worry about adding filters, and it worked wonders. Be sure to trim the corners before turning!

Loved it!!!

Could not find any stabilizers that were more than 12” wide; this product works great for embroidery with larger hoops.

The size was cut exactly what I needed

While more expensive than a roll of stabilizer I waste less because it’s precut.

Works great for embroidery machine

I like that this product can be cut to the size needed. I used it as a stabilizer for machine embroidery. I also sprayed it with a tacky product so the fabric would stay in place better. Held up great and was an easy tear off when embroidery was completed. I would definitely recommend this product.
