http://www.lordsewing.co.uk is a good source of embroidery 'stuff'. They have a big sale yearly which are well worth keeping a eye out for. I post here usually. I am still working my way through a huge roll that I got there almost two years ago. At the moment I have a piece of fabric that I got in a pound shop that is ground covering. (A friend uses this all the time with great success). I think we all have our different first choice of stabiliser.

well I was going to send you exactly where Michelle sent you. Best info I know is there for what stabilizer to use with what fabric/Lillian

Thanks will go have a look

Some use different for different projects, however I use one that sticks onto the back of the material for everything and would not do without it.

Very helpful. They sell lots of things for your embroidery, ask for a catalogue too.
