Would this be a good stabilizer for hand embroidery?

No, this just holds your project in place when it is to thick for the hoop. The glue would get on your needle and thread. It would also stay under your stitches and distort your stitches when you pull it off.

No,, it's pretty stiff for hand embroidery, but it works well in an embroidery machine.

I don't think so. It would be too hard to handle if the piece is very big. The sticky also becomes hard to peel if left on the fabric too long.How big is your piece? A very light tearaway would be your best bet. I use the sulky iron on too. It's very nice and doesn't get too sticky.

I would say yes. It's very strong and waterproof. I've used it to make several corsages and boutineers.

That is correct. Put the stabilizer in the hoop. Remove enough of the paper so the design will fit into it, the take your fabric and place it onto the sticky stabilizer and stitch away.so very easy. I love it.

Hi Dolly. I think these towels would be ideal for embroidery. They are very similar to the type of towels my grandma embroideried on years ago. They washed up nicely and work well. Hope this helps! Shawn

Not for hand embroidery. Machine embroidery may be okay for small jobs, not enough thread for larger jobs.

Yes, I have used it for many projects, and it seems to be holding up. (I make paracord items and also bracelets) Hope that helps.

I personally would hesitate to use it on ribbon. it wouldn't last very long. It's great for cross stitch fabrics because you will frame them and there isn't that much wear. I use it myself for cross stitch only though. I hope this helps.

I am not sure but it goes on in a pretty typical way, so if your machine has a pretty typical needle "set up" I think it will be fine. It interchanges easily on my machine (not an embroidery machine).

I haven't used the stabilizer yet, but I thought it just tore away after the stitches were finished. I would guess that the remaining parts would easily wash away, but I'm not positive.

NO! That is for hand sewing needles only. There is a product made for threading sewing machines. Look in ypur local sewin center. 2Doors

If you can stabilize it, then yes. If that's all you're using it for, though, I'd go with something stronger. This is a great tool, but it's really for getting into nooks and crannies more than heavy-duty flat-sanding.

I wouldn't use it for basic top stitching but I think it would be OK for decorative stitches. Since decorative stitches are basically embroidery it should work but I haven't tried it for that. I don't think it's strong enough for anything else.

Hi yes they will work but the thread is cheap it frays and breaks easily it may be ok for hobby embroidery but if you plan on doing it for resale i recommend Isacord thread :) I hope this helps you :)

This should work for you. I've used these for lots of cross stitching projects, and I love the portability of the frames.

It is okay for most applications, however, I found it did not last long enough to maintain the "bite" needed for fiddling. I suggest you try something "softer", but watch the residue build up. You could try a cello rosin. I haven't tried it yet. I use Bernadel violin rosin, and like it very much.

I've used this machine on several fabric weights and it has been great. As long as you have the right needle and thread tension correct, it will be a work horse for you.

I've never done hand (well minus the binding). But, this thread was AWESOME in the machine, never once gave me trouble. I did 323 appliques with this thread. It is prettier in person.
