Redwork question. Do you use stabilizer on RW? And if so, what kind?

Great answers and I thank you one and all. I guess I should have said I was doing tea towels. I know what to do now for towels and quilts. *'s for all.

Celticlady I use stab, on everything I embr. sometimes light etc. Well it depends on fabric I'm using & what I want the finished product to be like.*4U

I use a stabilizer no matter what I am embroidering..different weights and types for different materials and designs. *4U

G R E A T question ;)

If the redwork is going in a quilt, I use a cutaway with a white batting and the redwork being done on what fabric. The cutaway does not show with the white batting being used. If on teatowels, I use a wash away. Hope this helps.

I am learning ;)

Although no one seems to mention using it, I use Sulky heat away stabilizer on my non-washable fabrics. It is heat sensitive plastic film that will disapper when ironed. I use this with my redwork, too. This stabilizer is light weight like the wash away.

I must try the heat away stab. ;)

I am the same as nonmusicmom, I use a light weight wash away stablizer. A flower for both of you.

When I am doing redwork I use a light weight wash away stabilizer. Mainly because I want my redwork to be soft if it's going in a quilt or a pillow.
