Sulky551-12 Sticky Self-Adhesive Tear-Away Stabilizer Roll

My son wanted me to learn to embroidery hats for him, and I didn't particularly want to buy a cap hoop. I watched a utube video on hooping difficult items securely with this product. It works! So far, I've only had time to try it on two things---a toboggan and a ready-made tote bag. It worked beautifully on both. Toboggans are stretchy, but this held it firmly in place with zero shifting. I used water soluble stabilizer on top to keep the stitches from sinking. My embroidery looked very professional. The other item I tried it on, a ready-made tote bag, was difficult to hoop because it was already sewn together with limited room for maneuvering a hoop. This stabilizer held it firmly in place for the completion of a large monogram, and there was no hoop burn to worry about. (You can usually get hoop burn out with a good spraying of Magic Sizing, though.) For something so sticky, this stabilizer tore right away from my finished designs. I plan to use it on a fleece throw next. I'll be trying it with a baseball-style cap soon, too. I absolutely love how this product performs and plan to always keep some on hand in my sewing room.

It works wonderful for the projects I am working on..

I purchased the sticky stabilizer. It is easy to use. When you score it to remove the backing, the backing comes off very easily. On a loosely woven fabric, a little harder to get the sticky part off, but not too bad. Better that any I have used. The price online is much better that buying the product in a sewing shop.

Love this stabilizer. Great having it delivered

I needed I solution to use on a sash that did not fit in my smallest hoop. I am new to embroidery and have had trouble with puckering. This an awesome produce and prevents puckering and work great for small projects. I might just use this on all my embroidery projects.

I have been looking for this product for awhile. I received a small sample and used it to stabilize three baby shirts while I embroidered a message. After buying this roll, I have used it to stabilize heavier knits. It didn't gunk up my needle. It worked very will with the infant shirts. I cut a window in the stabilizer, used a light tear-away to cover the window, and just anchored the shirts on top with the stickiness of the product. Amazing results.When I used it for adult knit shirts I didn't use the window technique and just stuck down the whole sewing field. It worked fairly well. It was great for repositioning the item to get it flat and smooth before stitching. During sewing there was some minor slippage of the shirt, probably due to its weight. Next time I'll rub it a bit to get a firmer contact.I will definitely be buying this product again.

This is WONDERFUL. I embroider names on ribbon for local small business, and hooping 20 strips of grosgrain is a PAIN, plus of course it slides while you're embroidering. This product lets me stick down multiple strips with minimal stuff, it stays in place, and it doesn't pull as much. Saves SO MUCH time. Also great for fleece--it prevents stretching. Just make sure you use good quality thread--the spool of cheap thread I was using shredded from the stickiness. Good Sulky thread works fine.

Easy to use for all my sewing projects. I like that it is self adhesive as some of my projects I can't use the iron on versions. I use it to stabilize handwoven and knitted projects before sewing on the machine. Some sweaters are cut and sew. The stabilizer makes it easy to sew through the paper backing and prep the seam areas for cutting. And I don't have to worry about the seams unraveling before I can get them done and stabilized with stitching. I learned the trick on YouTube and it works great. One roll lasts a long time and since I do not live near a fabric store I was glad to be able to order it here.

Works well

Pour broder, assez bien

Tutto perfetto

Wasn't too sure about the sticky when I bought this but it turned out to be really handy and quick, strong adhesive when it sticks to itself, be careful when you get the end of it as its really curly and once it's stuck your have to throw the piece away and recut. However, it peels away from the fabric easily and cleanly. I've ordered more!

I recently tried out a sticky embroidery stabilizer, and it has quickly become an indispensable tool in my embroidery projects. This stabilizer is a game-changer when it comes to keeping fabrics secure and taut during stitching. The sticky surface adheres to the fabric, preventing shifting or puckering, even with intricate designs. It's incredibly easy to use, as it eliminates the need for additional pins or basting. The stabilizer provides excellent support and prevents fabric distortion, resulting in clean and precise embroidery. I'm impressed with its durability and the fact that it doesn't leave any residue behind. If you're passionate about embroidery, this sticky stabilizer is a must-have for achieving professional and flawless results. Highly recommended!
