I have used the sticky stabilizer for embroidery and it gums up the needle and makes the thread break. Have there been any problems with this spray ?

My wife is the one that uses this. She uses this for fusing two fabrics together for quilting. She says that she does not have any problems with gumming up her needles or with sticky residue when using this product. She explains that there are particular stabilizers for embroidery. She says that you should speak with a sewing machine shop/embroidery specialty shop as to the proper stabilizer for embroidery. She is assuming that you are using the stabilizer with machine embroidery.

I had no issues with mine. If it got put on a little cock-eyed and the threads aren't lined up right, it could seem stuck. I wish I could help. Maybe a local camera store could give you more help without ruining your threads. Good luck.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

I haven't tried this particular size needle and brand of thread but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use it with embroidery thread all the time. It even works well with 2 strands of thread. It's save me hours of time.

I haven't had that problem. Have you tried shaking the contents first before spraying?

I haven't used it on threads as it is a oil free technology product and I haven't read anywhere where threads are listed on its usage. I seem to want something with a light grease viscosity for threads. It wouldn't hurt to give TUF-GLIDE a try on threads for a little test and see what you think.

I have used mod podge spray sealer on printer paper and laserjet printing with no problems. Just make sure your ink is completely dry before sealing!

I use it all the time while machine embroidering (to attach the stabilizer to the fabric when i dont hoop it) and what works for me is warm water if the fabric can take it. even hot water will do it faster

Although, I have not used it for the flash light thread and o-ring. It's gluey texture and lubricant in nature...I don't see any harm doing so.

Your machine should be adjusting tension automatically....I would check your needle versus type of fabric you're sewing/embroidering, check to see if you have a piece of thread broken apart in the head of the machine that could be catching on your sewing thread. You can manually adjust tension by running the thread back and forth at the top rear...then, Thread the machine. check your manual or on-line for the description. If you are embroidering, be sure you are using quality thread. I've used less "expensive" & paid for it in breakage in the middle of the piece. Try slowing down the stitching speed & make sure you are using the proper backing for your fabric. You could still have thread caught in the bobbin case which could be exerting too much pressure on the top thread. I would try a thorough cleaning, vacuum.....your machine out....never blow it like a computer. The sewing machine has oiled, moving parts & blowing the dirty, dust, lint pushes it into the machine and eventually causes a sludge..... Check to make sure you haven't knocked the timing out.....if the machine increases in frequency of breakage, look at your bobbin case...make sure the needle isn't hitting the plastic instead of the hole ...sliding off into the bobbin. Goodness, I hope this helpS!!! All else fails, call Singer support...they are easy to work with...I've called them in e past. THey will walk you through maintenance to get you up and running. I love my 400!!! Use it all the time....one of three sewing machines.....I have a 43 year old brother I can't part with as well.. Good luck MMh

I just used it with Duracoat over the weekend. It worked fine except being my first time using one of these guns, I sprayed on too thin of material/too much air, so the paint dried before hitting the surface. I was trying to be a little careful, but I might need to redo the Duracoat now. Lesson learned, get the right air/material mixture.

Not a stupid question at all. However, while this is a nice package of embroidery floss, my one complaint is it tangles fairly easily. It is not as smooth as some other flosses I have used in the past, so I wouldn't recommend machine embroidery with this particular brand. Although if you take care, it's a great, beautifully colored floss for hand embroidery.

A titanium needle works best with the sticky stabilizers as it has a special coating to help it go through the sticky, then use a needle according to the fabric type. If the onsi is knit use a titanium knit needle.ithen use whatever size is appropriate for the weight of the fabric. The Sulky web site has great information on stabilizers and needles.

We've had our mop for about a year, and last week it suddenly stopped spraying. When we'd squeeze the trigger, it seemed jammed or struck.I almost bought a new mop, but in one last desperate move I got a thin sewing needle and poked it into the center of the spray nozzle. That fixed it!Give it a try if yours stops spraying.

I found the "stirrer" can stick, perhaps from some milk residue. After the first time I began just pushing down on stirrer to break any bond, which loosens it, and it has never happened again.
